Skyler's Lunch, Noah Sherman, Autumn Boone, Hilaria Cruz

LING 590/Internet Language

Our class was studying the use of emojis across different platforms and wanted to explore how stories using emojis could impact young readers. Here, we try to translate the story of Skyler into emoji, providing translations along the way. We replace words completely with emoji, represent phrases with a few emoji, and use additional emoji to make sense of the content, including punctuation. In this book, we explore the character of Skyler, who is a picky eater. But they learn to eat the nutritious food that is good for them. In the end, they even get a reward!

The Legacy Book In America, 1664–1792, Roxanne Harde, Lindsay Yakimyshyn
