When a girl is asked where is she from, where is she really from, none of her answers seem to be correct. Not sure how to respond, she turns to her loving grandfather for help. He doesn't give her the answer she expects. He gives her an even better one.

With themes of self-acceptance, identity, and home, ¿De dónde eres? is a powerful and lyrical picture book that will resonate with readers young and old, of all backgrounds and all colors, especially anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong.
