Why Don't Mamma and I Speak the Same Language? Valeria Fanelli

Gianni loves the way he and his mom communicate. They can use two languages and they always understand each other. But, why don't they always speak the same language? This book answers most children questions about being bilingual. The story of Gianni is also the story of Giuseppe, Giuliana, Leonardo, Luciana, Alessandro, Lucas and many other children whose family members moved to the United States and share the same Italian roots. This book represents an introspection on modern immigration through an early language perception and assimilation experience.
