Blog Tour: Finally Seen | Edspire
“You’re the daughter of first generation immigrants. Do you know what that means?
It means your blood is made of iron will and determination. Your backbone is built from the sacrifices and impossible decisions of all those who walked before you. You have a duty to them to protect your heart.”
Finally Seen is a brilliant and beautiful book
A middle grade novel that packs a punch
And shines a spotlight on so so many
Issues relevant to young readers today
Post pandemic life
Racism
Bullying
Immigration
Moving somewhere new
Navigating friendships
Repairing relationships
Language barriers
Financial insecurity
The importance of good teachers
The vital role books
Libraries and librarians
Can play in the lives of our young people
This book shines a light on
Book banning and
FReadom
The freedom to read
Finally Seen is the story of Lina
Who finally flies to America
To join her parents and sister
They have been apart for 5 years
Lina has to leave behind
Lao Lao
Her beloved Grandmother
She feels so guilty but
But she is determined
To join her family
In America
Lina finds that life in America
Is not all that she
Had hoped it might be
School is hard
Children are unkind to her
And tease her when
She tries to speak English
Her parents are working so hard
For very little money
And they owe rent money
For their house
Lina does not feel like she belongs
She is homesick for Beijing
But also longs to be seen
In America
By her family and the children in school
Lina makes friends with Finn
They bond over feeling that
They are different
They bond through talking
About their families and
Home life
They bond over their love of books
Of graphic novels in particular
Finn helps Lina adjust to
Life in America and she is also
Helped by her one to one
English language teacher
Who is one of my favourite characters
And who is based upon the teacher
Who helped author, Kelly Yang
When her family first moves to
The States
Finally Seen takes young readers
On a journey through the day to day
Life of Lina as she experiences America
As a newly arrived Asian immigrant
We see the prejudice that her family faces
The cruelty and hardship they endure
We see how language and cultural barriers
Stop people living their lives
This book shows us all how
Kindness and acceptance help
How we should all be
Considerate and welcoming
To new people in our lives
This book shows the importance
Of helping people feel like they belong
Of showing people that they matter
Through Lina and her sister Millie
We feel the pain and anxiety caused
By worrying that you are not enough
You will never belong or do well
In the new country
That you now call home
This brilliant and beautiful book
Tackles difficult issues
In Kelly Yang’s story
We see children noticing when things are not right
We see children finding their voices and speaking out
To peers and classmates
To their family and friends
To school staff and community members
We see children and the grown ups who
Champion them and believe in them
Being empowered to make change
To stand up and speak out and make a difference
This is a story of love and courage
A story of resilience
There are so many characters
Each with their own layered story
All interwoven seamlessly
To paint a picture of real life
For a Chinese immigrant
Settling into a new life in America
I love the focus on graphic novels
In this story
I have ordered the books mentioned
In Finally Seen
For my children and I to read
I love that Lina feels seen
In the words and illustrations of
Flea Shop
And I am glad that she is able to
Communicate and express herself
Through her artwork and
Through her own explorations of
Creating graphic stories
One of the best parts of this book for me
Was the chapter when characters
Schooled and home educated
Old and young
Male and female
From all walks of life and
From many countries of the world
Stood up and spoke out passionately
About the banning of books
About why books and stories matter
And why we should all be free to read
The books we want and need to read
Why all children should have access
To the books that act as
Sliding doors and mirrors for them
Books are doors, windows and mirrors
Books are bridges
They connect us
They help us to see and feel and understand
They help us to be
Finally Seen
“My greatest hope in writing this book is to show just how essential books are as sliding doors and mirrors.
Because children need and deserve to see themselves represented in books …
… Because our future depends on it.”
Kelly Yang

Time taken to read – 1 day

Blurb from Goodreads
This is the story of a young boy’s dream of finding a cure for people with cancer, just like him. Told through the eyes of his mother, it is a true and honest account on his positive, cheery, determined and selfless outlook, The Harry Moseley Story – Making it Happen is a true account of how a ‘normal’ little boy with big dreams and a selfless, compassionate outlook on life proves that with hard work, anything can be achieved. This is an emotional, heart-warming and truly inspirational account of how a little boy’s dream of helping others changed the lives of millions and will probably make you take a look at yourself in the process Harry gripped the nation by making and selling beaded bracelets all by himself, with all the proceeds he raised going to charity. When Harry passed away in October 2011 he had raised a staggering £650,000 for his chosen charities but his legacy lives on. During his fight against brain cancer Harry befriended many people via his Twitter account including his peers and many famous celebrities from all over the world. In 2012, a charity ‘Help Harry Help Others’ was set up to carry on his work.
My Review
So I hadn’t heard about Help Harry Help Others, Harry Moseley, this is the weans story. I was at the Ice Hockey and a guy called Dave had bead bracelets for my pal, gave one to me (I was with her) and when I offered to pay he said no they were spreading awareness for the weans charity. So of course I went home and checked it out (https://hhho.org.uk/) – I added a donation for my bracelet, I bought a couple of copies of the book and a few bracelets to put them in with the BDWBs for workies.
So meet Harry, the wean was diagnosed with a brain tumour, inoperable and whilst getting treatment he met an older gentleman whom he befriended. The wean started his mission, the help find a cure for brain cancer and raising funds to do so, there began HHHO and his bracelet making.
The wean took the world by storm, word spread, he helped teach kids how to make the bracelets so they could continue his missing raising funds for research/the cure and a percentage for their school funds.
He travelled, did talks/education, met celebrities and all the while treated everyone the same and embraced his diagnosis with so much positivity it shines through the pages. Each chapter has a passage from celebrities who met the wean and ambassadors for his charity/mission.
The love for him and his bravery through from diagnosis to his final journey, ooft, the wean inspirational, he said something along the lines of putting CAN into cancer and that is the perfect line for Harry. He was selfless, caring, way beyond his young years, always looking to do for others and even when he started having rough days the wean still powered through. The tart of the book says have tissues and its true, you should. Whilst it is obviously heartbreaking there is so much hope, inspiration, happiness and love – whilst I never met Harry I feel after reading this I know him. A little glimpse of the ray of sunshine that wean projected, I wear my bracelet to every game and tell folk about his mission and website. Harry may be no longer here physically but he has sure left his mark on the world and his legacy lives on. If we can even have a smidge of Harry in us the world will be a much kinder/nicer place, bless him!
