Про цю аудіокнигу
A sharp and heartfelt story about a young soccer-loving girl who’s an interpreter for her Spanish-speaking parents.
Some kids have one job: to be a kid! Cecilia has two. When she isn't on the soccer field scoring goals, she's accompanying her parents to all kinds of grown-up places, like the DMV, the accountant's office, and the auto shop. She helps them translate from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. It’s an important job, and it can even be fun. It’s also hard work.
Sometimes Cecilia's second job is so much responsibility, it feels like she'll split in two! Is it time for Cecilia to blow her whistle and call for a time-out?
Olivia Abtahi’s clever prose captures a common aspect of life for immigrant and bilingual families while offering a model for teamwork that helps everyone feel understood.
