This is an absolutely stunning picture book as a little girl is constantly asked the question "Where are you from?" Boy does this grandfather have the most beautiful answer for her.

Evaluation

I plan on reading this over and over again. As someone who has had this exact conversation with her husband, I do feel like this is a conversation that should be had by all whether you have been on the receiving end of a question such as this or you have been the one asking the question. Though at surface level this book looks simplistic, it is so much more than simple. There is a brilliant TEDtalk that also analyzes this same question. It would make an excellent talking point for many.
