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 others company. When all the tea is gone and its time for dessert, Luli gets to use her favorite English word, cookie! After that, the playroom isnt so quiet.Informed by her own experience as the child of Chinese immigrant parents, Andrea Wang makes the point that when youre looking to communicate with people, you look for a common bond.
