Here I Am by Patricia Hee Kim

5.0

A young child moves from his own country to New York City, still clinging to a seed that reminds him of home. When he loses the seed out his window, suddenly, he begins exploring his neighborhood in search of what he lost, eventually finding a new friend.

What a beautiful message of being open to the wonder and beauty around you, even when it's new and difficult to understand. As Patti Kim asks in the author's note at the end of the book: What happens to us when we forget to be afraid?
