Kende Kende Kende (French/English Bilingual)
A multilingual story of love and learning, joy and journey inspired by the families throughout Central Africa who are forced to leave their homes, this is an honest but helpful own-voice narrative about displacement.
Having fled their village as conflict approaches, Mamá, Papá, Lolie, and Nico live in a refugee camp until they are chosen for resettlement in North America. Their new city is a go, go, go of new challenges, but also a return to love and learning, joy, and journey.
A text woven from three languages celebrates multilingual speakers and the resilience of refugees.
From the publisher: The main story is told in French and English, because French is still widely spoken in the DRC and Africa generally. There is additional text (but not the full text) in Lingala, which is a Bantu language spoken in western Central Africa. Additionally, the full text is available to download via a QR code in seven additional languages.
