It’s Dat’s first day of school in a new country! Dat and his Mah made a long journey to get here, and Dat doesn’t know the language. To Dat, everything everybody says — from the school bus driver to his new classmates — sounds like gibberish. How is Dat going to make new friends if they can’t understand each other? Luckily there’s a friendly girl in Dat’s class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides just talking. Could she help make sense of the gibberish?
Es el primer día de clase de Dat en un nuevo país. Dat y Ma han hecho una larga travesía para llegar aquí, pero Dat no sabe hablar el idioma. Para Dat, todo lo que dicen todas las personas a su alrededor, desde el conductor del autobús escolar hasta sus nuevos compañeros de clase, suena a blablablá. ¿Cómo hará Dat nuevos amigos sin poder hacerse entender? Por suerte, en la clase de Dat, hay una compañera muy amigable que sabe que no siempre hay que hablar para poder comunicarse. Con su ayuda, ¿podrá Dat entender tanto blablablá?---from the publisher
