Dat and his Mah made a long journey by boat and by plane and now it’s Dat’s first day of school in a new country. But Dat doesn’t know the language. To him, everything everybody says, from the school bus driver to his new classmates, sounds like gibberish. Fortunately, there’s a friendly girl in Dat’s class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides talking. With her help Dat may be able to make sense of everyone’s gibberish. In this story of immigration, Young Vo uses unique and unsettling illustrations to show how confusing and difficult it can be to adapt to a new place and how just one person can help.
Young Vo is the debut author and illustrator of Gibberish. He learned to draw before he could write. He drew a lot of characters, then began to write stories for them. There were not many job choices that he could make, so he decided to be an animator, illustrator, and author. Now he writes and draws his stories before the sun rises, then during the day, he animates.
Minh Lê is the author of Lift, Let Me Finish, and The Perfect Seat. In 2019 he won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature for his book Drawn Together. In addition to writing books, he serves on the Board of We Need Diverse Books
