Seeing Is NOT Believing

In this stunningly illustrated book, conceived and written by teen debut author, Sebastian Gallardo, and illustrated by Dan McGeehan, children will learn something about diversity—and the beauty of the individual. In Seeing Is NOT Believing, Jose rides the subway alone for the first time. He goes to meet his grandmother for a birthday outing. They are going to see the giant who stands on Ellis Island. As he rides the subway, Jose discovers that a person can be lost in a crowd. So many people. How will he find his Abuela when people are hurrying and scurrying all over the station? But Jose makes one more discovery; when you take time to notice people, you make new friends. A crowd is just a bunch of people, in the end. Each one has an individual story—a point of view. And each person adds color to our world.
