¿De dónde eres?

Regular price $17.99

When you ask a girl where she is from, where she is really from, none of her answers seem to be correct.

Unsure how to respond, she turns to her loving grandfather for help. He doesn't give her the answer she expects. It gives you an even better one.

Where am I from?
You are from hurricanes and dark storms,
and of a little frog whose song calls the islanders to come 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, of all backgrounds and all colors, especially anyone who has felt like they don't belong.

Spanish Description: Cuando se le pregunta a una chica de dónde es, de dónde es realmente, ninguna de sus respuestas parece ser la correcta. Sin estar segura de cómo responder, se dirige a su abuelo amoroso en busca de ayuda. Él no le da la respuesta que ella espera. Le da una aún mejor. ¿De donde soy? Eres de huracanes y tormentas oscuras, y de una ranita cuyo canto llama a los isleños para que vuelvan a casa cuando el sol se va a dormir....Con temas de autoaceptación, identidad y hogar, este poderoso y lírico libro de imágenes resonará con lectores jóvenes y viejos, de todos los orígenes y de todos los colores, especialmente cualquiera que haya sentido que no pertenecen.
