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 añ os ´ 50, cuando los niñ os inmigrantes de la posguerra fueron a sus primeras clases estadounidenses,
esta encantadora historia relata los có micos problemas lingü í sticos que tuvo Josefina el primer dí a de escuela. Hija de experimentados ingenieros italianos, Josefina ha vivido en la ciudad el tiempo suficiente como para haber aprendido algunas pocas palabras en inglé s, pero se siente sobrepasada cuando la maestra le pide contar el relato de su vida en Italia a todos sus compañ eros, por supuesto en inglé s. El resultado es un encantador cuento de aventuras y desaciertos linguí sticos y culturales producidos mientras Josefina intenta hacerse entender. Los niñ osentenderá n que a veces la gente subestima los talentos y la dignidad de los recié n llegados a los Estados Unidos y empezará n una aventura al Josefina relatar su increí ble historia de la mejor manera en que sabe hacerlo y mientras ella intenta comprender a su maestra y compañ eros de habla inglesa.
