No Words In English by Elizabeth Kouhi. 1999; 119 pages.
When six-year-old Anna and her family stepped off the boat from Finland onto the Canadian shore, the English language spoken around her seemed to have no words, just gutteral sounds, and seemed impossible to learn. But Anna's schooling demanded that she learn those hard sounds. Learning English posed just one of the many difficulties faced by Anna and her family as they struggled to survive in the harsh Canadian wilderness.
