Book Description:
Set in the Bronx during the 1950s, when postwar immigrant children were placed in their first American classrooms, this delightful story tells of the riotous linguistic misunderstandings of Josephine's first day of school. The daughter of savvy Italian engineers, Josephine has lived in the city long enough to have learned a few words in English, but is overcome when her teacher makes her stand up in front of the class and tell about her life in Italy in English, of course. The result is a charming tale of adventures and multicultural miscommunications as Josephine attempts to make herself understood. Children will come to understand that sometimes people underestimate the talents and dignity of newcomers to the United States and will embark on a poignant journey as Josephine tells her incredible story the best way she knows how and attempts to understand her English speaking teacher and classmates. Establecidos en el Bronx durante los a os 50, cuando los ni os inmigrantes de la posguerra fueron a sus primeras clases estadounidenses, esta encantadora historia relata los c micos problemas ling sticos que tuvo Josefina el primer d a de escuela.

El resultado es un encantador cuento de aventuras y desaciertos lingu sticos y culturales producidos mientras Josefina intenta hacerse entender. Los ni os entender n que a veces la gente subestima los talentos y la dignidad de los reci n llegados a los Estados Unidos y empezar n una aventura al Josefina relatar su incre ble historia de la mejor manera en que sabe hacerlo y mientras ella intenta comprender a su maestra y compa eros de habla inglesa.
