I Hate English, by Ellen Levine
This is a touching story of Mei Mei, a young immigrant girl from Hong Kong, who arrives in New York's Chinatown. With the help of her teacher, Mei Mei learns that she can have the best of two worlds by learning to communicate in two languages.
I think it might be very hard to learn to speak English - then again, it may be challenging to learn to speak Mandarine too! But I hope it is worth the effort. Thanks for sharing. Mrs. Simon
