Where are you from?  Cover Image Book Book

Where are you from? / by Yamile Saied Méndez ; illustrated by Jaime Kim.

Méndez, Yamile Saied, (author.). Kim, Jaime, (illustrator.). Liatis, Maria, (narrator.).

Summary:

When a girl is asked where she's from-where she's really from-none of her answers seems to be the right one. Unsure about how to reply, she turns to her loving abuelo for help. He doesn't give her the response she expects. She gets an even better one. Where am I from? You're from hurricanes and dark storms, and a tiny singing frog that calls the island people home when the sun goes to sleep ... With themes of self-acceptance, identity, and home, this powerful, lyrical picture book will resonate with readers young and old, from all backgrounds and of all colors-especially anyone who ever felt that they don't belong.
