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

Awareness (starred review) "A much-needed title that is a first

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."

A lyrical and loving ode to Planet Earth and the ways in which its
many features are interconnected--to each other and to us--told in
the cumulative style of "This Is the House that Jack Built." This
is our Earth, the planet we call home. These are the mountains,
stretching from Earth, the planet we call home. This is the sun,
that warms up the mountains, stretching from Earth, the planet we
call home. And on the story goes: The planet we call home has
mountains that stretch from the earth, and those mountains have
streams that swell in the sun, and those streams lead to rivers
that meander by towns, and on and on-all interconnected and all
dependent on one another. And throughout it all is us, the people
who call this planet home, and who care for its many wonders and
help keep it beautiful and vibrant for generations to come. With a
warm, cumulative text by debut author Aimee Isaac, gorgeous,
sweeping art by award-winning and bestselling illustrator Jaime
Kim, this is a perfect read for budding environmentalists-and for
anyone who loves the planet we all call home.

dormir.... Con temas de autoaceptacion, identidad y hogar, este
poderoso y lirico libro de imagenes resonara con lectores jovenes y

When a young boy and his mother travel overseas to her childhood
home in Korea, the town is not as he imagined. Will he be able to
see it the way Mummy does? This gentle, contemplative picture book
about family origins invites us to ponder the meaning of home. A
young boy loves listening to his mother describe the place where
she grew up, a world of tall mountains and friends splashing
together in the river. Mummy's stories have let the boy visit her
homeland in his thoughts and dreams, and now he's old enough to
travel with her to see it for himself. But when mother and son
arrive, the town is not as he imagined. Skyscrapers block the
mountains, and crowds hurry past. The boy feels like an outsider -
until they visit the river where his mother used to play, and he
sees that the spirit and happiness of those days remain.
Sensitively pitched to a child's-eye view, this vivid story honors
the immigrant experience and the timeless bond between parent and
child, past and present.

A deep breath and a little imagination are key in this gentle, beautifully illustrated story that will inspire little ones to lift their own spirits – and remember that they are loved.
Some days are harder to get through than others, but when you’re sad, or lonely, or angry, it helps to remember these words: the Isle of You. Take a moment to shake off your worries, then set sail to a land where your dreams can come true. Soar on the back of an eagle, hunt for treasure, watch dancing polar bears on roller skates –anything you can imagine is yours.
Hopeful and dreamlike, Jaime Kim’s paintings illuminate a way for young readers to visualize a brighter, happier mood in this compassionate story by David LaRochelle.
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.
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.
A stunning celebration of new life, nature and our precious world.
Perfect for sharing with big and small. Welcome, little baby, round
your mama curled. Welcome, little baby. Welcome to your world.
Journey along with a new small someone through our natural world,
discovering the warmth and love that is found all around us. From
ice-capped mountains to the depths of the sea, through forests,
plains and jungles, this book brims over with delicious parent and
baby pairings - elephants, eagles, monkeys, polar bears and more! A
lyrical, stunningly illustrated book that celebrates the wonders of
nature, while also subtly calling to protect it. A must-have gift
for a newborn!
