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 anos ‘50, cuando los ninos inmigrantes de la posguerra fueron a sus primeras clases estadounidenses, esta encantadora historia relata los comicos problemas linguisticos que tuvo Josefina el primer dia de escuela. Hija de experimentados ingenieros italianos, Josefina ha vivido en la ciudad el tiempo suficiente como para haber aprendido algunas pocas palabras en ingles, pero se siente sobrepasada cuando la maestra le pide contar el relato de su vida en Italia a todos sus companeros, por supuesto en ingles. El resultado es un encantador cuento de aventuras y desaciertos linguisticos y culturales producidos mientras Josefina intenta hacerse entender. Los ninos entenderan que a veces la gente subestima los talentos y la dignidad de los recien llegados a los Estados Unidos y empezaran una aventura al Josefina relatar su increible historia de la mejor manera en que sabe hacerlo y mientras ella intenta comprender a su maestra y companeros de habla inglesa.
