From, (Hardcover)

<p><strong>A playful picture book in which a family's place of origin -- their From -- is a constant presence in their home.</strong></p> <p>From has lived with me my whole life. From came with my parents when they moved here from far away. They like to share Grandma's favorite meals, play strange music and tell funny stories about where my parents grew up. Sometimes it can be kind of embarrassing to have a From. (And some kids have more than one!) When my friends come over, I try to hide them. But From understands a lot about my family that other people don't -- they're like a secret portal to a faraway place.</p> <p>Full of heart and humor, and centered on a delightful Muppet-like character that kids will love, <em> From</em> is a unique take on what it means to be "from" somewhere. With simple text and sprightly illustrations by multidisciplinary artist Claudine Crangle, this one-of-a-kind picture book is the perfect conversation starter in classrooms or over dinnertime about the diversity of family backgrounds.</p> <p><br> </p> <p><strong>Key Text Features</strong></p> <p>illustrations</p> <p><br> </p> <p><strong>Correlates to the Common Core States Standards in English Language Arts: <br> </strong></p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.1</p> <p>With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3</p> <p>With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.4</p> <p>Ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7</p> <p>With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.1</p> <p>Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2</p> <p>Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3</p> <p>Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.6</p> <p>Identify who is telling the story at various points in a text.</p> <p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7</p> <p>Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.</p>
