Where Am I From?

Picture Books
A joyful, colourful celebration of our global community and how interconnected we all are
Where are you from, my little one?
That’s quite a big question, you see,
because you’re more than here and you’re more than there.
How do we answer the question 'Where am I from?' If anyone knows, it's Mum, who shares that you come from lots of different places - some where cheese is treated like a local hero, others with vibrant and colourful temples - and that who you are is a beautiful blend of where you're from, where you've been, and all the places you'll go.
