'A captivating and lyrical own-voices picture book exploring homecoming, belonging and identity, with exquisite illustrations capturing the essence of a journey of self-acceptance.

'Dorothy wears Doc Martens. Clicking her toes together once, twice, three times, she whispers, 'Where is my home?'

'A modern comparison to Dorothy's journey of finding home in The Wizard of Oz.' (Publication summary)
 

''Where are you from?' they say.
What they mean is,
'Why is your skin that colour?'
'Why does your hair look like that?'

I am from the mountains,
The seas and the sky.
I am from children of millions of years,
A timeline of humanity.
I am from this planet
And all others.

'A heartfelt picture book that challenges racism from an exciting new voice that is both a cry of pain and a demonstration of inner strength, which takes us on an intergalactic journey past collapsing stars and glowing nebulae to remind us not of our differences but of our shared humanity.'
