About this Event
Dedicated To: Anyone who has ever felt their stomach clench when asked, “where they’re from?”
Where Am I From? celebrates the beauty of mixed, blended and multi-cultural families, assuring young readers you don’t have to look like everyone in your family to be family. The book gently encourages conversations about cultural diversity and self-discovery, while beautifully illustrating the reality that families are wonderfully diverse.
This book is a conversation starter - a way to talk about family, differences, identity, and complex emotions. It offers readers the opportunity to expand their understanding of what ‘family’ and ‘home’ can truly mean and encourages every reader to feel a sense of belonging. Follow Jade’s true story as an infant, international adoptee - you are more than where you were born or where you live.
Fun fact: if you look closely at the book’s illustrations, you may even spot a few hidden dumplings!
Agenda includes Book reading, Q&A, and Book Signing
