BOOK NUMBER TWELVE
SUBJECT MATTER: English language, Youth fiction
TITLE: No English
AUTHOR: Jacqueline Jules
PUBLISHER: Mitten Press
COPYRIGHT: 2007, 29pages
A beautifully illustrated book about a new girl in school from Argentina who does not yet speak English. The story is about how one student reached out to her and helped her to feel welcome despite the language barrier.
Sociological Notes: This story reflects the reality of American public schools in two ways:
A. The majority of the teachers in the schools are Anglo and female;
B. More and more non-English speaking students are becoming part of the K-12 school system; many of these students are Spanish-speakers.
