Orbeck-Nilssen, Constance Why am I Here?
Illustrated by Akin Duzakin
PICTURE BOOK Norla, 2016
(Eerdmans). $16.99 Content: G.
A child is sitting on an island with a telescope, wondering why he is
where he is. He contemplates all of the
different places that children are living and the conditions that they are
faced with. He thinks about remote
locations, people who are at war, people who are refugees or working people. In the end, he decides that wherever he is it
will be home.
The illustrations in this
book are simple but powerful. I think
this is a great way to talk about what other children in the world are faced
with without it being overwhelming.
A good introduction to the different lives children live in this
world.
