(3) K-3 An East Asian girl immigrates with her mother and grandmother, leaving behind the familiar. As the girl drifts between past and present, navigating uncertainty, loss, and belonging, her story gently unfolds into one of resilience and renewal. Quiet digital illustrations, in sunset and night colors, feature fishes and sooty terns as visual motifs, echoing the story’s migration theme. A poetic, visually striking exploration of what it means to find -- and redefine -- home.
