Many fantasy novels feature a child standing against the world, as an apparent orphan: Folkkeeper, Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter.
My upcoming picture book, THE JOURNEY OF OLIVER K. WOODMAN, is about Tameka Schwartz, a biracial girl who lives in California. She writes her uncle in S. Carolina and asks him to visit. Uncle Ray says he has to work; instead, he builds a wooden man, Oliver K. Woodman, and sends him. As Oliver crosses the continent to connect this family, we get a cross-section of the US. Joe Cepeda's wonderful illustrations celebrates the ethnic variety of the U.S.
