After all, Kemala <i>loves </i>to talk. The kids at school like talking, too--but their words are all different. This country speaks a language Kemala doesn't know. <p/>At first, no one understands Kemala either. This realization makes her curl into a little ball, like most pangolins do when they're nervous. But a classmate helps draw her out with an art project that doubles as a vocabulary exchange. Soon, Kemala is learning the most universal language of all: friendship.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>A <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Best Book of 2020!</b><br><b>Indiana Young Hoosier Book Award Nominee!</b> <p/>Kindness is a universal language . . .
