Greetings around the neighborhood

Carmelita’s daily greetings turn her colorful neighborhood into a meeting place for languages and cultures. She learns to say hello in Spanish, English, French, Japanese, and more, while her dog Manny joins in with a “Woof!” The neighborhood setting is part of the book’s appeal: collages include storefronts, pigeons, and an ice cream truck, giving young readers details to notice as they explore the scene. The book brings together a child’s ordinary day, multilingual greetings, and a portrait of cultural diversity in an American neighborhood.

Book overview

Carmelita loves to greet everyone in her colorful neighborhood. There are people from so many different cultures! They all like to say hello too, so now Carmelita can say hello in Spanish, English, French, Japanese, and many other languages. And her dog, Manny? Well, he seems to understand everyone, and gives a happy "Woof!" wherever he goes.

Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora's eyecatching collages are full of kid-friendly details like colorful storefronts, pigeons and an ice cream truck, making Carmelita's neighborhood fun to explore. Emphasizing the rich diversity of America's neighborhoods, this simple portrait of a child's day provides a great introduction to the joy of language.
