This resonant and award-winning picture book tells the story of one girl who constantly gets asked a simple question that doesn’t have a simple answer. A great conversation starter in the home or classroom—a book to share, in the spirit of I Am Enough by Grace Byers and Keturah A. Bobo. When a girl is asked where she’s from—where she’s really from—none of her answers seems to be the right one. Unsure about how to reply, she turns to her loving abuelo for help. He doesn’t give her the response she expects. She gets an even better one. Where am I from? You’re from hurricanes and dark storms, and a tiny singing frog that calls the island people home when the sun goes to sleep.... With themes of self-acceptance, identity, and home, this powerful, lyrical picture book will resonate with readers young and old, from all backgrounds and of all colors—especially anyone who ever felt that they don’t belong. 2019 Nerdies Fiction Picture Book Award Winner | Silver Medalist for Bank Street College of Education’s Best Spanish Language Picture Books of the Year | Named one of Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2019 |A Mighty Girl’s 2019 Book of the Year | Named one of New York Public Library's Best Books for Kids 2019 "Lyrical language and luminous illustrations. An ideal vehicle for readers to ponder and discuss their own identities." —Kirkus (starred review) "An enchanted, hand-in-hand odyssey [and] opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the many, many backgrounds, roots, histories, of those who live in these United States." —Shelf Awareness (starred review) "A much-needed title that is a first purchase for libraries and classrooms." —School Library Journal "This touching book addresses a ubiquitous question for children of color, and in the end, the closeness between the girl and Abuelo shows that no matter the questions, she knows exactly where she’s from." —Booklist "Although the book begins as a gentle riposte to narrow cultural and ethnic categorizations, its conclusion reaches out to all readers, evoking both heritage and the human family." —Publishers Weekly A Spanish-language edition, ¿De dónde eres?, is also available.

Albert Fahrnbauer vowed on his mothers deathbed that he would dedicate his life to the service of mankind, and chose Art, through portraiture. He set out to develop a new scientific system that inspired people through color matched to each personality a portrait that revealed a blueprint toward a radiant better life. Alberts vision is the center of his life. But he needs help. He marries with the understanding his wife Barbara will join him in developing his Science-Art. They will have no children. He wants her to join him every step of the way painting only with his system. She must abandon her free-spirited, messy way of painting. This is the story of where each of them came from, their different personalities and how their backgrounds inspired, damaged, and diverged throughout their lives together. Volume 1 Inspired by Albert, Barbara marries him without really understanding what he wants of her. It is 1952. They live in the east side tenement district in New York City, like walking backwards through time. There are no refrigerators. Blocks of ice, swung onto a mans back with a huge hook are delivered up three flights of stairs to an icebox for 25 cents. Volume 2 is the journey to Atlanta, Georgia, and buying a home-studio. Albert inherits $10,000 and buys a dairy farm. Volume 3 opens with joyous hope for life on their farm. They are burdened by debt and the failure of the dairy. They hoped their farm would be their Garden of Eden. So begins Alberts remorse over abandoning his vow to create a new system of art. Everything they try shrivels to dust. Even the maids they hire during the Christmas rush for portraits seem to have a lot to teach them, Barbara especially.

The story is about Inez, a Hungarian girl who takes on a job as an au pair in London right after finishing college. She finds an advert in a newspaper and meets with the mother, who lives with her French husband and two boys (eight and five) in London. The girls journey begins in the south of France. She suddenly finds herself in the French Riviera in a beautiful house, with two boys whom she will have to take care of. They spend the summer holiday in France getting to know each other and the extended family. In September, the family moves back to Chiswick, London. Everybody starts to go after their duties, and Inezs daily routine takes shape too. It isnt exactly what she was looking for, and she doesnt really get along with the mother, but at least she finds friends at the English school. The mother gets pregnant, and then it turns out that the whole family has to pack up and move to Colorado. The transition period turns out to be horrific. The situation gets a little out of hand, especially after the new baby arrives. Inezs year of duty ends in the summer after one last job she has to do for the family: accompany the boys as they fly back to Budapest.

Print | eBook Language: English 150 pages Illustrations, map Vol. 12 , 2016 ISSN: 1660-9638 ISBN: Print: 978-3-905758-79-5 Ulla Dentlinger Where are you from? 'Playing White' under Apartheid “My family did the unthinkable: after getting away with ‘playing white’ for some years, we went one step further and ‘jumped the colour line’. By various obscure and not well-documented processes, we changed our ‘racial classification’ from ‘coloured’ – as defined by the apartheid policy of the day – to that of ‘white’ … The price we paid was anguish, constant fear of detection and a sacrifice of family connectedness. The decades-long process of becoming completely comfortable with my ultimate identity was psychologically so unnerving that I have only recently felt free to talk about it. This is certainly the first time I have ever written about it.” With these words the fascinating story of Ulla Dentlinger’s life history begins. Growing up in poor, rural Apartheid-Namibia in the early 1950s, Ulla Dentlinger soon learns that her parents are not prone to reminisce about their family’s past. The most mundane information about their background is guarded much like a state secret. As a child, she begins to panic at being asked the question so normal to others: Where are you from? Only in later years it dawns on her that she had to be a ‘Coloured’. The sense of conflict increases incrementally. Nonetheless, after living in Namibia for the first six years of her life, she grows up in a white area in Cape Town, goes to a white school and bears herself in a German fashion. She has, in fact, jumped the colour line. Returning to southern Africa in the 1990s, she now openly pursues investigations into her family background. Ulla Dentlinger portrays some of her relatives and their intimate, painful or straightforward stories as well as her own emotional realisation about her enriching heritage.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Four simple words. In my travels, these four words could lead to a conversation that creates friendships and relationships for one night, seven days or even a lifetime. For over ten years, I was able to travel the Northern Caribbean. I earned my living as a Scuba Diving Instructor. I was fortunate enough to live and dive in three out of the top ten diving destinations in the world. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Is my true story. I left my family and friends in Wisconsin with three back packs and a TRECK1800 bicycle. Through the Florida Keys and three countries outside the continental USA I built a tribe. New family and friends that inspired me, saved my life and gave me the greatest adventure a boy from a town of less than 1500 people could imagine. May my story inspire you to trust in your visions and make your dreams come true!
