Words

Say Hello! ~ Rachel Isadora

Carmelita and her mom visit Abuela Rosa. As they make their way down Ninth Ave, they say hello to all their friends.

Jambo Means Hello ~ Muriel Feelings

This is an alphabet book based on words from the Swahili language. My kids enjoyed this book. For a few days they used the words Baba (father), rafiki (friend), and of course, Jambo (hello).

Yo, Jo! ~ Rachel Isadora

This book is about Jomar and his brother and the different slang sayings they use with their friends in the neighborhood. Even grandpa chimes in with a bit of slang.
