Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — This October, Carolrhoda Books, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group™, presents Where We Come From, a unique and powerful collaboration between four renowned authors who lyrically explore the elements that shape who they are. Award-winning authors Diane Wilson, Sun Yung Shin, Shannon Gibney, and John Coy weave together their individual stories to explore place, ancestors, movement, struggle, determination, and hope. Richly layered illustrations from artist Dion MBD connect past and present, making for an accessible and visually striking look at history, family, and identity.

We come from stardust / our bodies made of ancient elements. / We come from single cells / evolving over billions of years. / We come from place, language, and spirit. / And each of us comes from story.

Where We Come From will be the inaugural book featured in the Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) International Airport “Stars of the North” storytelling exhibit which will be on display in Terminal 1: Concourse C from September 1-October 31, 2022. Diane Wilson, Sun Yung Shin, Shannon Gibney, and John Coy will be reading and signing Where We Come From at MSP International Airport on Wednesday, October 19 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Lerner Publishing Group partnered with the arts commission at MSP Airport to fulfill this project.
