amandell 's review for:
Where Are You From?
by Yamile Saied Méndez
A BEAUTIFUL book that answers the question "Where are you REALLY from?" A girl at school is confused when people keep asking her where she is REALLY from at school. She asks her Abuelo and his answer is BEAUTIFUL.
"But, Abuelo, I ask,
where am I really from?"
"Abuelo laughs.
You want a place?
He points to his heart. You're from here,
from my love and the love of all those before us,
from those who dreamed of you
because of a song sung under the Southern Cross
or the words in a book written under
the light of the North Star.
You?
You are from all of us."
