Description
In this companion story to I'm New Here, three elementary schoolers--who aren't new--begin to understand and embrace three immigrant students.
Are you new here? Do you know someone new? In I'm New Here and Someone New, young readers explore the immigrant experience through both "windows" and "mirrors." In I'm New Here, readers meet three recent immigrants trying to adjust to a new country and school. In Someone New, the same story is told from the perspective of the students who welcome the newcomers. An honest and heartwarming look at diversity, inclusion, and friendship.
"Informative and genuine"-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
