Notes
Description
Kalia will never tell her mother about the moment she decided to stop speaking English. There is a rock in her throat, and it grows heavier by the day.
In this moving true story, Kao Kalia Yang shares her experiences as a young Hmong refugee in the United States navigating two cultures and two languages. She sees what happens as her parents enter the English-speaking world and are met with rudeness and disrespect. And in a silent act of rebellion, Kalia stops speaking English.
