Summary
Do you know my language? Have you heard the sounds it makes? Has it rocked you in its rhythms? Have you seen the roads it takes?
A parent invites a child to get to know their language. In a driving rhythm, they speak about the language blossoming in deserts and plains, building castles and forts and motoring over roadways. Not hemmed in by borders, this language holds ancient knowledge, medicines and nourishment within it, and has explored the farthest reaches of the universe. The parent realizes that teaching their heritage language to their child will connect them always and allow them to grow a garden of language together.
For the parents and caregivers who want to share their heritage language with the children in their lives, E.G. Alaraj has crafted this celebratory and inspiring poem in hopes it will get more conversations started and encourage kids to see the joy in discovering their roots. Exploring the links between language, culture and the natural world, this book is a heartfelt celebration of the vitality and importance of our languages and how they bind us together.
Praise for E.G. Alaraj:
?“A stunning marriage of text and art that will linger with listeners as they slip into sleep...This melodic lullaby is warm and tender perfection.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review for When Stars Arise Key Selling Points
- In this poetic picture book, a parent tells a child about their language, its ancient origins and all it represents, in hopes the child will learn it too.
- This book celebrates learning a new language and brings language alive. The story will hopefully encourage families to have conversations around sharing language and the joy a second (or third) language can bring.
- Features an author’s note from E.G. Alaraj about what inspired this book—her children's reluctance to learn Arabic—giving us some personal insight into the tale.
- The illustrator, Rachel Wada, has captured the urgency and dynamism of the text with her moving illustrations. So much of the language is figurative and imaginative, and Rachel's skill with abstract compositions perfectly captures these transcendent concepts.
- E.G. Alaraj is the author of the board book When Stars Arise, which earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, and was shortlisted for the Christie Harris Illustrated Children's Literature Prize.
