Award winning children’s author, Heather Bradley recently launched her new book We Both Speak English But… It is the story of two cousins, two countries, one language. The cousins live over 3,000 miles apart, one wears a slicker, wellies and carries a brolly, while the other wears a raincoat, rubber boots and carries an umbrella. One cousin wears a jumper, the other a pullover, but Granny knit them both! It’s a different kind of bilingualism that demonstrates that it’s not our differences that set us apart, but our refusal to embrace them. You’ll find We Both Speak English But… at Kent Books, the Wee Tartan Shop, The Book Lady or online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Friesen Press.
