“I’m From Here Too is a beautiful book that explores universal themes of belonging, confidence, and identity from a perspective that’s too often overlooked—a young Sikh boy. The author deftly conveys experiences of what it’s like to be minoritized in our society, and how we move through those experiences together. It’s a powerful story for people who see the difficult realities of our present moment yet hope for a better future.” —Simran Jeet Singh, Sikh scholar and author of Fauja Singh Keeps Going and The Light We Give
