This resonant and award-winning picture book tells the story of a young girl who is constantly asked a simple question that has no simple answer. An excellent conversation starter at home or in the classroom—a book for sharing, in the spirit of Grace Byers and Keturah A. Bobo’s I Am Enough.

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 how to respond, she turns to her beloved abuelo for help. He doesn’t give her the answer she expects. She gets an even better one.

Where are you from?

You are 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 and lyrical picture book will resonate with young and old readers, from all backgrounds and of all colors, especially anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong.
