A young girl takes a walk in the forest with her grandfather and observes the animals, plants, growth and marks of the seasons-a walk that parallels the journey her family took to put down roots and that shaped her life. Reflecting on the present, she looks to the future and the ways that she, too, will offer strength and support to generations that follow.
Jashar Awan's spare, lyrical text is given magnificent expression in Rahele Jomepour Bell's stunning images of nature. Where I Grew is a nuanced and lovely picture book that honours the sacrifices and strengths of people who journey to new lands and to the beautiful and enduring homes that they create.
