You Talk Funny Too

Do you have an accent? YES! If you speak, you have an accent. Most people on Earth would say that YOU have a very strong accent. This is because most people aren't from where you're from. YOU TALK FUNNY TOO is a short rhyming story about accents that helps children understand a global perspective-to see their home as one of many places on our beautiful globe-as well as encourage their interest in geography. Author Lee Coulter and illustrator Simone Wolowiec became friends after hearing each other's accents. They are two Australians who met while ordering coffee in Encinitas, California. Lee and Simone were told by Americans that they had "cool" accents, which was funny because they felt the same about Americans. With this idea, Lee (a songwriter) and Simone (an artist) combined their love for words and pictures to create their first children's book. And if you read this out loud, COOL ACCENT!
