"Don't Ask Me Where I'm From" by Inés del Castillo follows the journey of a young girl, María, who navigates the complexities of her identity as the child of immigrants in a new country. As she grapples with feelings of belonging and isolation, she faces the challenges of her dual heritage. The narrative unfolds through her experiences in school, her relationships with family and friends, and her search for self-acceptance amidst cultural misunderstandings. Ultimately, María's story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the quest to find her voice in a world that often asks her to define herself in simplistic terms.
