I'm From by Gary Gray
5.0
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I have been eagerly anticipating Gary Gray, Jr.'s debut picture book, I'M FROM, illustrated by the incredible Oge Mora ever since I first heard about it. I got to read it in the booth at #alaac23 & was blown away.
It's so, so good. A take on the Where I'm From poem that dives even deeper into feelings of belonging, family, identity, and more. All enhanced with the energy & joy & love Mora's art brings to it.
An absolute must-purchase for elementary libraries & definite read aloud recommendation for classrooms.
