The Art of Being an 'Other' in an Ex-Pats World "In a world where identity and nationality are both a great source of human belonging and suffering, Other helps us look beyond individual differences to bring new hope." --James Sutterlin, former Director of the Executive Office of the U.N. Secretary General People who have traveled, married a foreigner, lived the life of an ex-pat or grown up bi-culturally can often feel like an 'other,' someone who does not fit entirely into one culture, or as Katherine Knorr of the International Herald Tribune put it so well, "someone at home in two places and a stranger in both as well." This audience will feel comfortably at home, however, when they read the book, Mom Says, Dad Says, Nat Says: Other. The entertaining illustrated series, Mom Says, Dad Says, Nat Says: Other reads much like the St. Exupery's The Little Prince, but with a different message. This book is about the art of being 'different,' in an ex-pats world…what we wished our Mom had told us, what our Dad may not have known, and what our own head and heart might still have difficulty grasping. Unless, like the characters in the book, your Mom has a 'savoir vivre' that is larger than life, your Dad an internationally renown Harvard trained psychiatrist on health, and you like the author Nat, have been traveling the globe and have spent years trying to integrate both your Mom's heart and your Dad's head. This heartwarming illustrated book is for busy adults and kids who have felt misunderstood for any reason (and who hasn't), or constrained by a label (their own or someone else's). The international crowd will of course appreciate the parts that deal with identity, physical appearance, language, name, racism or contempt, particularly due to the author's humor, wit and heart. Through the surprising coping strategies in the book, being an 'Other,' can suddenly become a formidable stepping stone to happiness.
