'Where are you from?' they say. What they mean is, 'Why is your
skin that colour?' 'Why does your hair look like that?' I am from
the mountains, The seas and the sky. I am from children of millions
of years, A timeline of humanity. I am from this planet And all
others. A heartfelt picture book that challenges racism from an
exciting new voice that is both a cry of pain and a demonstration
of inner strength, which takes us on an intergalactic journey past
collapsing stars and glowing nebulae to remind us not of our
differences but of our shared humanity.
'Winning and wondrous, this picture book is a compelling
appreciation of neurodiversity' Kirkus Reviews, starred review With
the Curiosities, a whole world of wonders and possibles awaits . .
. Miro wakes one morning to find the world isn't quite the way he
thought it was. When the Curiosities choose Miro as the one they
nest on, Miro is led to discover all the marvels waiting in the
shadows where no-one else looks. Sometimes though, the Curiosities
can make Miro feel alone and invisible in the darkness. But perhaps
Miro isn't as alone as he thinks... A beautiful celebration of
disability, diversity and pride in who you are, from one of
Australia's most loved and awarded writers for children. 'Families
and teachers who want to show a window into living with
neurodiversity will want to explore this imaginative book' Youth
Services Book Review, US 'Readers young and old will be touched by
the book's depths and awakened to a less common, yet infinitely
human life experience - not to invoke pity or fear, but to conjure
understanding, awe, and interconnectedness' Booklist
