A six-year-old Chinese girl named Ping learns to speak English by total immersion in an American first-grade class. In the process, she discovers that not everyone thinks the same, and that even when language is mastered, there can be other barriers to complete communication between friends.

Sometimes we just have to accept others without trying to change them.
