My Words Flew Away Like Birds
Debora Pearson, illustrated by Shrija Jain
A young child recounts moving with her parents to a new country after learning words in an unfamiliar language. Once there, the speed and unfamiliarity of other people’s speech leave her confused, even when she recognizes things such as trees, sky, and a park. She watches and waits as she adjusts to life away from the people and home she knew. Over time, a new friend helps her become more comfortable understanding and speaking the language.
