Washington Convention Center, Washington DC.

In “I Am an English-Language Learner,” eight kids from various countries talk about their experiences learning English in the United States. They discuss the things that they miss most about their home countries, how they feel about now being in the United States, and the things that they aspire to achieve in the future.

Melissa Campesi's charming book shows that people from all over the world can speak, read, and write in a wide range of languages. The stories highlight the importance of maintaining the native language of the students while simultaneously learning English as a new language. Other cultural topics the students share in the book are their unique traditions, holidays, games, and foods; demonstrating some ways in which people across the globe differ.

As a result of the wide range of backgrounds and experiences represented in the classroom, it has become clear that learning about one another is the most efficient way to impart knowledge. By sharing the stories of students learning English as a second language, this educational children's book opens the eyes of young readers to different customs and cultures all over the world.
