A sweet, empowering picture book by debut author-illustrator Lorian Tu
about two siblings who learn in their own ways how all the different
parts of their family make them special.
Like the colors of the rainbow and the notes of a song, none of Arturo
and Emilyn's relatives look or sound alike.
As the siblings run errands to help prepare for a very special day in
their family, Emilyn tries to write the perfect poem to describe what it
means to be in their big, loving family. With every stop, and taste of
delicious treats along the way, the siblings begin to understand, each
in their own way, that all the different parts of their family make them
who they are.
We Are a Song is a celebration of mixed-race families and siblinghood,
perfect for fans of Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Peña and
Where Are You From? by Yamile Saied Méndez*.*
