Here I Am by Patricia Hee Kim

3.0

What a wonderful way of illustrating illiteracy, confusion, despair - and finally acceptance and friendship. This wordless picture book is chock full of the emotions of immigration.

This was a selection for the Butler Center's Mock CaldeNott - considering only picture books for children published outside the United States. Even though I wasn't able to attend the discussion, I got hold of all ten of the shortlisted books and quickly devoured them.
