After reading this book to my kid, I had to put it down and gulp down some tears. Hold on, mommy needs to cry a little.

A very sweet, fun, moving portrayal of moving to a new country. It's fun to read - I gibberished floridly through the foreign language (probably English) - and it's so incredibly touching. Dat is a new kid. He can't speak this language. Ugh, how frustrating. Then, one curious kid befriends him. Eventually, Dat learns the language. I died. I ded now. Excuse me while I cry.
