What I Am by Divya Srinivasan: A universal picture book that affirms that our complexities make us who we are.
A young narrator describes herself: a girl, a granddaughter, Indian, and American. Soon, we see the young girl as a plethora of things: selfishand generous, meanand kind, brave and mischievous. While many of these qualities oppose each other, the context and illustrations make it abundantly clear that she speaks the truth. She is a walking contradiction, and that is precisely what makes her both a unique individual and an essential piece of the greater world around her.
Divya Srinivasan shows what makes us human and proud to be who we are.
Perfect for 4 - 8 years readers and fans of social situations.
