My New Brother Doesn't Speak English

A parent would reach for this book when preparing a young child for the arrival of a new sibling through international adoption or when a child expresses anxiety about how to communicate with someone who speaks a different language. It addresses the very real concern kids have about how they will play and bond if they cannot understand each other's words. The story follows a young boy anticipating his new brother's arrival from another country. It gently explores themes of patience, empathy, and the universal language of play. Recommended for children ages 4 to 8, this book is an excellent choice for families in the adoption process or for any household looking to model kindness and inclusivity toward those who are different.
