How language and community work

Misunderstandings are part of life, especially when you're little. You don't get your big brother's joke, you don't know certain words yet, you misunderstand a facial expression or fall for double meanings. Sometimes you try to say something yourself and just aren't understood. Communication is the basis of our interactions, and yet so much goes wrong! In this humorous non-fiction picture book, the linguistically creative author Regina Schwarz shows where the pitfalls lie when we communicate with each other. A warm-hearted, cheekily illustrated book for everyone who wants to join in the conversation! • Informative and entertaining non-fiction picture book about communication • A call for harmonious coexistence across age and cultural boundaries • The first non-fiction picture book on the subject for children aged five and up
