(3) K-3 Guatemalan Maria, Korean Jin, and Somalian Fatimah appeared in I'm New Here. Now the focus is on their American classmates and how everyone benefits from interacting with the new kids. For instance, Jesse gets Maria to play on their soccer team, and she's "unstoppable." Watercolor and digital illustrations depict welcoming, diversely populated classrooms, and the simple text with speech balloons supports young readers. A note further discusses "connecting across differences."
