The Day Saida Arrived
The Day Saida Arrived | Susana Gómez Redondo
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
What happens when a new friend arrives who doesn't speak the same language? A young girl searches for the words to help her friend feel welcome and happy in her new home, and along the way learns about differences and similarities in countries and words. The two girls forge a strong bond while they each learn the other's language, exploring the world around them. Told with wonderfully vivid illustrations, The Day Saida Arrived offers an accessible, fresh approach to the topics of immigration, language, and learning.

A marvelous friendship story in which two little girls, one who speaks Arabic and the other who speaks English, teach each other words in their respective native language. I loved the colorful illustrations in which English words are incorporated with their Arabic translation.

A joyous, lyrical text―including English translations and pronunciations and the complete Arabic alphabet―offers an accessible, fresh approach to talking about immigration. Paired with lushly vivid illustrations, The Day Saida Arrived demonstrates the power of language to build bonds beyond borders. Printed on FSC-certified paper with vegetable-based inks.

#FallFinds Day 13: This is definitely making it to the list of my #FavoriteFiction Picturebooks this year. This is a beautiful story of openness and compassion, courage and vulnerability, learning and discovery. A review copy was generously provided to me by the translator, Lawrence Schimel, whom I am glad to call a friend. Met him in Madrid a few years back. My review published this morning: https://wp.me/pDlzr-mBa
