Discover the poetic journey of our shared human origins and identity.
Four authors weave a poetic tapestry of human origins, exploring the literal and metaphorical places we come from. Through richly layered illustrations, they delve into themes of ancestry, struggle, and hope, connecting past and present. What unites us as humans? How do our stories shape our identities? This visually striking narrative invites readers to reflect on their own roots and the universal threads that bind us all.
In this unique collaboration, four authors lyrically explore where they each come from–literally and metaphorically–as well as what unites all of us as humans. Richly layered illustrations connect past and present, making for an accessible and visually striking look at history, family, and identity. We come from stardust / our bodies made of ancient elements. / We come from single cells / evolving over billions of years. / We come from place, language, and spirit. / And each of us comes from story.
