In this photographic picture book, the authors record and
transcribe the words of displaced children, raising up their
voices—who they are, where they came from, and the many different
reasons that they had to leave their home countries. My parents
told me we had to leave to stay safe. I was scared. We left in a
hurry. We could hardly bring anything. I could only take what fit
in my backpack. One day there was everyone and the next day there
was almost no one. We had to go too. This book celebrates the
resilience, hope, and joy of children and their families who are
seeking asylum. Stunning photographs capture children doing
everyday things like playing on the playground, going to school,
and meeting new friends alongside their stories of having to leave
to their home countries in order to stay safe. The authors
transcribed and photographed children from around the world to
share their experiences on moving to a new place under extremely
difficult circumstances as a way to raise up their voices and
humanize people seeking asylum. Countries include Afghanistan,
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Bosnia, Tibet, Republic of Congo, South Sudan,
Mexico, Syria, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Ukraine. The authors have
included backmatter with further information for kids, parents, and
educators.

Simple text and photographs introduce basic emotions--happy, grumpy, thoughtful, and more--and how people express them.
There are different ways to show and be who you are in this
affirming photographic picture book that offers a celebratory and
informative look at kids and their wide-ranging gender identities.
"Sometimes it's hard when kids say you have to be a boy or a girl
when you're not. Everyone should feel safe to just be who they
are." Girls, boys, neither, both, or just not sure. Kids are kids!
There are different ways to show and be who you are. It's up to
you-how you feel, how you dress, how you act, how you play, learn,
and love. Who is the true you? With the permission of their
parents, the children in this photographic picture book were
recorded and transcribed by authors Gwen Agna and Shelley Rotner as
they were photographed. These powerful testimonials paired with a
spare narrative and vibrant, joyful portraits offer up a humanizing
and moving exploration of kids and how they feel about their true
selves.
People come in lots of shades, even in the same family. This
exploration of one of the most noticeable physical traits in humans
uses vibrant photographs of children and short text to inspire
young readers to look beyond the obvious. Full color.
A beautiful variety of childrens faces grace the cover and
pages of this picture book, and the opening lines state the
premise: People come in many different shades. Not colors, exactly,
but shades. The intent of the brief text is clear: Our skin is just
our covering, like wrapping paper. And you cant tell what someone
is like from the cover of their skin. Candid shots capture a
variety of young children playing on beaches, in parks and
playgrounds. Posed portrait photos also display an assortment of
skin shades from cream and ivory to peach,
coffee, and cocoa. Filled with smiles and hugs, the pictures
prove an upbeat confirmation of the books central idea.
Message-driven but charming, this will enrich and spark discussions
of diversity.
