Watch Me: A Story of Immigration and Inspiration by Doyin Richards

hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

The inspiring true story of Joe, an immigrant from Sierra Leone, who persisted against the biases and low expectations others had for him, worked hard, and became a successful doctor. Written by Joe's son, you can see the impact that this father had on the author.

Age-appropriateness: 4-9 yrs.
This book is a great conversation starter about immigration and what it feels like to be in a totally new place. Because of the lower content-heaviness and simple story line, this would work well in a lower elementary classroom as a read aloud.
