A picture book about immigration, Watch Me is based on the author's
father's own story.
Joe came to America from Africa when he was young. He worked hard in
school, made friends, and embraced his new home. Like so many immigrants
before and after him, Joe succeeded when many thought he would fail.
In telling the story of how his father came to America, Doyin Richards
tells the story of many immigrants, and opens the experience up to
readers of all backgrounds. Here is a moving and empowering story of how
many different people, from different places, make us great. Acclaimed
artist Joe Cepeda brings the story to life with beautiful paintings,
full of heart.
