Bookroo's summary
In a vibrant market, young Adam loses sight of his parents. As he navigates the lively crowd, he mistakes strangers for his family, discovering unexpected bonds and shared humanity. This nearly-wordless journey through diversity and community invites readers to see beyond appearances and find common ground in the most colorful of places. Will Adam find his way back, and what will he learn along the way?
From the publisher
Adam and his family spend an exciting day at the colorful and bustling Eastern Market. But when Adam gets briefly separated from Mom and Dad, he mistakes a friendly, diverse cast of characters for his parents in their traditional Muslim clothing–and shows that we all have more in common than you might think. This nearly-wordless picture book celebrates diversity and community in vibrant, dynamic art.
