Teryam is excited for kindergarten. But day after day, small moments of exclusion begin to take a toll. Other children ignore Teryam, speak over Teryam, leave Teryam out of games, or question where Teryam “really” comes from. With each encounter, courage, trust, joy, and voice begin to fade.
But again and again, one kind child steps forward to say: “Doch, Teryam, ich seh dich.” (“I see you.”)
Through these moments of kindness and connection, Teryam slowly rediscovers strength, belonging, and self-belief, and eventually becomes that caring voice for someone else.
Written in poetic, rhythmic prose and paired with tender, expressive illustrations, Teryam, ich find dich is an affirming story about what happens when a child is truly seen, heard, understood, and valued.
