Other-Wordly: Words Both Strange and Lovely from Around the World by Yee-Lum Mak, illustrated by Kelsey Garrity-Riley


Awwww, the illustrations are really endearing and heart-warming! Some of the words are so peculiar yet amazingly accurate about life that they should exist in every language.

CAFUNÉ (noun, m, Brazilian Portuguese)
running your fingers through the hair of someone you love

It is the kind of book that you would want to pick up when feeling down, hoping it will somehow soothe you. Trust me; its adorableness will save you. [12 May 2018]
