She Can Switch Between Them At The Speed Of Sound: One Language When Talking To SumiS Grandmother, Another When She Addresses The Shopkeeper. Sometimes She Speaks A Combination Of Both. Could It Be She Possesses A Superpower? With Awe And Curiosity, Young Sumi Recounts The Story Of Her MotherS Migration From India And How She Came To Acquire Two Tongues, Now Woven Together Like Fine Cloth. Rahele Jomepour BellS Inviting Illustrations Make Playful Use Of Visual Metaphors, While Uma MenonS Lyrical Text, Told Astutely From A ChildS Perspective, Touches Lightly On Such Subjects As Linguistic Diversity And Accent Discrimination (No Matter How They Speak, Every PersonS Voice Is Unique And Important).
