"Luli and the Language of Tea" by Andrea Wang: In this sweet picture book about bridging barriers, 5-year old Luli joins an English as a Second Language class. Luli and her classmates are faced with a challenge they didn’t consider — none of the kids speaks the same language. Until Lulu shouts out “tea!” in her native Chinese and brings out her own teapot to share. Turns out, the kids do speak one language in common — the language of tea! Lulu’s classmates share their own words for tea and soon Luli is sharing another of her favorite words — cookie!
