Description

From New York Times bestselling author and illustrator, Kelly Yang and Xindi Yan, comes a joyful story of a Chinese American girl translating for her immigrant parents.

Little Bird Laila tells the story of Laila, who knows how clever, kind, and funny her Mama and Baba are—but sometimes they need her help translating things from English. With English classes being too expensive, Laila decides to become her parents' teacher, even though she's just learning the language too.

There's lots that Laila knows (like you don't pronounce the t in ballet) but there's so much she doesn't know as well. Together, they embrace the joy and struggles of learning a new language.
