I’m New Here

Written and illustrated by Anne Sibley O’Brien

Ages 4–8 Picture book

Three immigrant children face the challenges of attending a new school. Jin is from South Korea, Maria is from Guatemala, and Fatimah is from Somalia. Each child comes from a different place, but they all share the experience of having to learn English. With the support of their classmates and teachers, each child slowly grows comfortable in their new environment.

Why We Love It

Sharing languages, sports, and art gives these children ways to connect while they’re still learning English. A welcoming reminder that new classmates have plenty to contribute from the start.
