As they say goodbye to their home and move to an unfamiliar place, the girl is full of questions: Will they ever return? What if she doesn’t make new friends? Why does she look different than the other kids? Her mother’s supportive refrain encourages her to voice her curiosity: \u003cem\u003eIt’s okay, just ask!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the answers lead to exciting discoveries. Other times, the answers are unclear, or prompt even \u003cem\u003emore \u003c\/em\u003equestions. But each time the girl chooses to \u003cem\u003ejust ask\u003c\/em\u003e, she learns more about her community and herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePartially based on the author’s own experience moving her family from the Philippines to Canada, this is a thoughtful, child-centered look at being a newcomer. While exploring the specific experience of immigrants, it also shares a more universal message about speaking up when uncertain or confused. It welcomes readers to ask questions when they’re unsure, and approach different people and places with an open mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monique Leonardo Carlos (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Owlkids Books |  Hardback | Picture book |  2024-10-15","offer_id":45652402536703,"sku":"9781771476140","price":21.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_911bbfd6-1b49-49f5-99c9-7c7da45593fd.jpg?v=1718681641","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781771476140","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
