Description

When Nadine asks a new friend if she has a coming-here story too, she topples the first domino in a community-wide chain of neighbors and new friends listening to those around them, wondering about their perspectives, and finally asking thoughtful, curious questions.

Critical Reviews

Berke's sweet tale of the domino effect that starts with one curious and accepting girl's question is sorely needed in this time of division and discord, as is the characters' use of the term "coming-here story" to inquire about others' heritages, rather than the potentially more intrusive "Where are you from?" Powell's soft and welcoming, watercolor like illustrations capture present and past at once as each immigrant's history is revealed.-- "Kirkus Reviews" (8/3/2024 12:00:00 AM)
