Here I Am

I think all the blurbs exalting had a negative effect for me as I went in thinking this is going to WOW me. It's a great message (when we forget to be afraid we open ourself up to wonderful things) but the execution didn't blow me away. I actually had to turn back a few times, wait how did he get here?

This is such a lovely book. A wordless story of a young child's experience immigrating to a new country where they don't know the language or the culture. I used gender-neutral pronouns because when I read through the book I imagined the child was a girl, but the blurb in the back uses male pronouns, so clearly this kid can be whoever is reading!
