New is a heartwarming picture book by Niña Mata, making her debut as both author and illustrator. In this emotionally rich story, a young Filipina child faces her first day of school and navigates the often-unspoken feelings of being “new” — new building, new class, new faces, and even new questions from others.

Through lush, expressive illustrations and lyrical prose, the book draws out the many layers of “newness” — the excitement, the uncertainty, and ultimately, the possibility for fresh beginnings and belonging.
