“Vo’s heartwarming immigration story is beautifully told, with multimedia illustrations that shine on each spread.”
—School Library Journal

Gibberish

Written by Young Vo
Published by Levine Querido

It’s Dat’s first day of school in a new country! Dat and his Mah made a long journey to get here, and Dat doesn’t know the language. To Dat, everything everybody says – from the school bus driver to his new classmates – sounds like gibberish. How is Dat going to make new friends if they can’t understand each other?

Luckily there’s a friendly girl in Dat’s class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides just talking. Could she help make sense of the gibberish?

Look for the Spanish edition, Blablabla: (Gibberish Spanish Edition).
