In a new American school, three immigrant students from Guatemala, Korea, and Somalia face the challenge of language barriers and cultural identity.

This heartfelt tale explores the journey of assimilation and the power of community in embracing diversity.
From the publisher
Three students are immigrants from Guatemala, Korea, and Somalia and have trouble speaking, writing, and sharing ideas in English in their new American elementary school. Through self-determination and with encouragement from their peers and teachers, the students learn to feel confident and comfortable in their new school without losing a sense of their home country, language, and identity.
Young readers from all backgrounds will appreciate this touching story about the assimilation of three immigrant students in a supportive school community.
