"Where I'm From" takes kids on a journey without leaving home. I gave a copy of the book to my goddaughter and she became curious about several of the places identified which prompted a trip to Chicago. She showed the book to her friends on the first day of school and now they realize that Cleveland is more than where LeBron James once played basketball.

"Where I'm From" honors the intelligence and natural curiosity of children by gently encouraging them to think of a world beyond the one they know. Every character is "real" and they all have a story that takes the reader to unique places all over the globe. After reading this book I would assume children will be actively seeking information about a world beyond their own experience. After all is said and done, for readers young and old, what more could you ask of a book?

BIO
Where Chante Thomas is from!
I was born in Cleveland, Ohio and lived on East 177 Street from which I could hear the sounds of trains crossing nearby railroad tracks. I attended Emile B Desauze Elementary School, Gracemount Elementary, and Alexander Hamilton Jr. High School – all three of which are now closed. I went to Beaumont School for Girls (it’s still here!) and graduated ready for college.
