Boppa Dances... Boppa Sings... to the English Language

In the author's first book, Boppa is an inquisitive yet loveable little girl who becomes curious about her very quiet neighbor. Every day the very quiet neighbor leaves early in the morning and arrives in the evening. Her neighbor dons a very eccentric yet beautiful head wrap and a maxi dress bursting with purple and gold as she heads off to meet with her language group, making Boppa all the more curious. One evening, Boppa secretly follows the quiet lady. When their paths cross, it's surprising. Boppa happily introduces herself and discovers that her neighbor does not speak English fluently. With great confidence, Boppa sets out to teach her neighbor English. While teaching her neighbor, she incorporates letter-sound relationships, vocabulary, syllables, and joyous rhyming texts. Remarkably bold illustrations by Travis A. Thompson help bring to life Boppa's experiences as she dances and sings to the English language.
