– Look, you were born here. The adults point to the map, each saying this differently. Four-year-old Jasmine lives in Malta, but when her family moves to Romania, the other children suddenly can’t understand her, even though she understands them. Jasmine, Which Language Do You Speak? is a bilingual children’s picture book about discovering language, languages and ourselves through them. Jasmine gradually realises that what she thought was one language was actually four. Yet all four had always been part of one whole, her.
