Laila knows her Mama and Baba are incredibly clever, funny, and kind. But because they are immigrants, sometimes they need a little help translating things from English. Since English classes are too expensive, Laila makes a brave decision: she is going to become her parents' teacher! There is just one catch, Laila is still learning the language herself. She knows some tricky rules, like how the t in ballet is silent, but there are plenty of words that still confuse her. Together, Laila and her parents dive into the funny, frustrating, and wonderful adventure of learning a new language as a family. From bestselling author Kelly Yang, this joyful and heartwarming story celebrates the special bond between parents and children. It is a beautiful reminder that you do not have to be perfect to be a great helper, and that love is a language everyone understands.
