Dear Librarians,

Big thanks for your support for I'm New Here, a Kirkus Reviews Best Book, about three just-arrived immigrant children, Maria, Jin, and Fatimah; I'm thrilled to introduce its companion, SOMEONE NEW, which features the same characters and events but from the points of view of the kids who are not new. Jesse, Jason, and Emma each have to work through their own discomfort in order to welcome their new classmates. Use these books to spark discussions about empathy and the courage to reach out across differences.

Enter to win a signed copy at Charlesbridge.com/SomeoneNew.

Cheers,
Anne Sibley O'Brien

"A great book to help students of all ages understand how they can welcome new members into their classrooms and communities." —School Library Journal
