Alphabet Soup

Author Eugene Ostashevsky 
Publisher Rab Rab Press

Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of two multilingual girls as written down by their poet father Eugene Ostashevsky. As their Turkish-German-Russian-American family moves from New York to Berlin, the girls communicate in a witty and colorful language of their own, effortlessly mixing words of different origin. Does who we are determine the way we speak — or is it the other way around? Alphabet Soup shows us the girls’ language as it changes, letting us witness their metamorphoses from toddlers to teenagers.
