Sinopse

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.
