"[E]ach question and simple sentence is there to encourage dialogue and self-discovery from young readers. A sublime joy." -- STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "Shapiro envelops big ideas within this whimsically affirming exploration of individuality and selfhood. A welcome, wandering contemplation of a book about being 'OURSELVES together.'" -- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "Celebrate and ponder the joy and power of knowing one's self in this contemplative and encouraging tale. [C]aregivers and readers will find ample discussion opportunities on subjects such as self-discovery and thoughtfulness. The conclusion celebrates the differences found among friends, and serves as an invitation to know and honor one's self. Shapiro's rich, mixed-media illustrations feature a muted palette and abound with details that will enthrall readers from start to finish.
