'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.
'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.
