Words to Make a Friend
Words to Make a Friend: A Story in Japanese and English | Donna Jo Napoli
2 posts | 1 read
"When a young Japanese girl moves into her new house, she is happy to see a girl her age playing in the snow just outside her window. The only problem is the Japanese girl doesn't speak English and the American girl doesn't speak Japanese. But each girl's love of the snow teaches them that they don't need to speak the same language to have fun!"--

Beautifully illustrated book about making friends showing how play can break down barriers. It starts out wordless adding vocabulary in English and Japanese. It gets extra praise from my family for featuring Godzilla. Usually he sneaks into a book barely noticed as a literary device or embelishment.
