About the Author :
ributor's Biography Gina Paul is an inner-city early childhood special education teacher and will soon be a licensed bilingual teacher. She came to the United States at the age of ten and spoke no English. She learned the language through watching educational children's programs on television. Gina is a strong believer in bridging the gap between cultures and communities, which she believes can be accomplished by educating young people about history, creating opportunities to share stories, recognizing individual differences, and having a healthy appreciation for diversity.

Review :
"I bought Gina Paul's book "I Am Not Being Lazy, I Just Don't Understand" for my 6 year old granddaughter Naomi, to help improve her reading. It's been a pleasure reading it with her each night, and she really likes the book. As a result of our doing this together, Naomi's reading skills and comprehension have improved. She enjoyed the book so much, she'd want to skip ahead in the story to find out what would happen next. When I asked Naomi what she thought about the book, she said that it was great. She likes the pictures and the humor in the book, and she felt like she could relate to the little girl in the story, because she has also felt scared and nervous and afraid to meet new people at school sometimes. Naomi also liked the fact that the little girl in the story is Haitian Creole, because Naomi is part Haitian. It's really nice for her to see a girl who looks like her in a book." Michael Hildago "As an elementary teacher, I am always looking for books on empathy and kindness to read with my students. This book on a child navigating her way through a new school and culture fit the bill perfectly. The pictures are beautiful and the story is engaging and thoughtful. A must have for every classroom library." Aimee
