World Kid Lit 2024: Languages

Language can divide.
Language can unite.
Language can be a barrier.
Language can be a door. 



Dancing hands by Joanna Que & Charina Marquez. 

Filipino sign language underscores this tale of new friendships, and new languages. 


Hello world by Jonathan Litton & Atelier Cartographik. 

I'm never not going to recommend this lift-the-flap non-fiction book about languages. I love languages (I can't speak any, other than English), and words.
