From the minute where the end papers show a diverse host of characters (of all ethnicities and races) going into a free childcare ESL class, you know there is something special about this book. (and all the tea cups from different countries of the world.) I say it all the time but food TRULY unites us. It is a commonality no matter how we say pronounce a word. "Luli and the Language of Tea" reinforces that in a host of ways. The only reason I hesitate to do this book in storytime is I'm worried that I would butcher pronunciations. That would not serve anyone well! As parents take an ELL class, children play - alone - in the classroom next door. None of them speak the same language, but Luli has an idea to bring them together: she has brought a teapot, a thermos of hot water, a canister of tea, teacups, and cookies. Each child says "tea" in their own language and comes to the table, where they share tea and cookies. Beautiful endpapers feature teacups with different designs from different countries; back matter gives the pronunciation of each child's name, what country they are from, and the tea traditions there. A wonderful read-aloud to share. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Though they may speak different languages, kids from all over the world come together to enjoy the shared pastime of tea in this delicious book for young readers. When five-year-old Luli joins her new English as a Second Language class, the playroom is quiet. Luli can't speak English, neither can anyone else. That's when she has a brilliant idea to host a tea party and bring them all together. Luli removes her teapot, thermos, and teacups from her bag and calls out "Ch!" in her native Chinese. One by one, her classmates pipe up in recognition: in Russian, Hindi, Turkish, Persian, Arabic, and Spanish, Portuguese, and Swahili. Tea is a tasty language they all know well, and it gives them a chance to share and enjoy each other's company. When all the tea is gone and it's time for dessert, Luli gets to use her favorite English word, cookie! After that, the playroom isn't so quiet."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Premise/plot: The setting for this new picture book is the free childcare at a place offering English as a Second Language lessons for adults. Luli, the protagonist, has the idea to make friends and bring them closer together by offering tea--“Chá!”
All of the other kids recognize this word and are delighted to join her because of the similarities between many, many languages for tea.
My thoughts: I liked this one. I had never thought of tea as a universal language before, but, it makes sense once you read the book and the back matter. I also don't necessarily link tea--actual tea--with children. But I think this depends completely and totally on one's culture. The book celebrates diverse cultures and SHARING. ( )
