Beautiful exploration of family that will move you even if you’re not from an immigrant family like the narrator. Lovely language and exquisite illustrations.
Gorgeous book with a beautiful message. I hope it reaches many children who have been pressed to answer this question.
So often when a white person asks a person of color where they are from, there is an assumption of not being from around here. It’s often a microaggression. In this story, a little girl is asked by kids and adults alike where she is from, so when she asks her abuelo where they are from, she gets a surprising answer.
Pair this text with George Ella Lyon’s poem “Where I’m From.”
