Support a lifetime of learning, encouraging exploration and self-acceptance through books, and your little ones will learn to conquer new challenges and have a better understanding of the power of community.
Our featured video is a story that brings to life an award-winning picture book Where Are You From, by Yamile Saied Méndez. This story features a little girl who constantly gets asked the simple question, “where are you from?” The answer is not simple, and the girl takes a journey with her “abuelo” to discover her heritage and family connections. This is a story for all readers to enjoy.
Where Are Your From is a 2019 Nerdies Fiction Picture Book Award Winner and a Silver Medalist for Bank Street College of Education’s Best Spanish Language Picture Books of the Year. The book was named one of Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2019 and A Mighty Girl’s 2019 Book of the Year. Where Are Your From was named one of New York Public Library’s Best Books for Kids 2019.
