A nearly wordless story following a little girl in search of someone who understands...
"Kim has created sumptuous images. DiCamillo’s text leaves room for children to fill in the silences with their own boundless imaginations" New York Times
“La la la...” A little girl stands alone and sings, but hears no response. Gathering her courage and her curiosity, she skips further out into the world, singing away to the trees and the pond and the reeds – but no song comes back to her. Day passes into night, and the girl dares to venture into the darkness towards the light of the moon, climbing as high as she can... Now, will she be heard?
With an enchanting palette and captivating expressiveness, Jaime Kim brings to life Kate DiCamillo's endearing character in a transcendent landscape that invites readers along on an emotionally satisfying journey.
This resonant and award-winning picture book tells the story of one
girl who constantly gets asked a simple question that doesn't have
a simple answer. A great conversation starter in the home or
classroom-a book to share, in the spirit of I Am Enough by Grace
Byers and Keturah A. Bobo. 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. 2019 Nerdies Fiction Picture Book Award Winner | Silver
Medalist for Bank Street College of Education's Best Spanish
Language Picture Books of the Year | Named one of Kirkus Reviews
Best Books of 2019 |A Mighty Girl's 2019 Book of the Year | Named
one of New York Public Library's Best Books for Kids 2019 "Lyrical
language and luminous illustrations. An ideal vehicle for readers
to ponder and discuss their own identities." -Kirkus (starred
review) "An enchanted, hand-in-hand odyssey [and] opportunity to
acknowledge and celebrate the many, many backgrounds, roots,
histories, of those who live in these United States." -Shelf
Awareness (starred review) "A much-needed title that is a first
purchase for libraries and classrooms." -School Library Journal
"This touching book addresses a ubiquitous question for children of
color, and in the end, the closeness between the girl and Abuelo
shows that no matter the questions, she knows exactly where she's
from." -Booklist "Although the book begins as a gentle riposte to
narrow cultural and ethnic categorizations, its conclusion reaches
out to all readers, evoking both heritage and the human family."
-Publishers Weekly A Spanish-language edition, ?De donde eres?, is
also available.
An exuberant and relatable picture book about sibling rivalry,
ballet, and finding your free-form self. Confidence goes a long
way, and so does practice – but the support of a loving family
and community matters even more in this winsome tale of dancing
your way into your own unique talents. Tessie has taken ballet for
a whole month and thinks she has it down. If it weren’t for her
big sister, Maya, who seems to own the spotlight, Tessie would
dazzle the whole class. But when Maya lands the lead – and the
coveted princess crown – in the upcoming show, not even freestyle
dancing can fully rescue Tessie’s spirits. But maybe they each
have something to teach and the spotlight is big enough for two?
Jaime Kim’s author-illustrator debut captures the shifting
emotions of competition, sisterhood, and joy in movement with
warmth, charm, and a deliciously bright palette.
