Overview

Poetic and heartwarming, Geisel Honor-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling creator Niña Mata's first authored picture book stars a young Filipina on her first day of school as she discovers the true and layered meaning of ""new."" In the big city, everything feels new. School is new. The people are new. And the glares and stares you get for being different are new. But new can also mean new beginnings . . . A child's-eye view of the common immigrant experience of adjusting to an unfamiliar place, Mata's picture book debut is a delightfully illustrated masterpiece that will resonate with any child who embarks on a new adventure.
