Why Am I Me? by Paige Britt

5.0

This book follows a girl and boy of different ethnicities as they journey on public transportation pondering the same identity question. The writing is in prose and accompanied by beautiful illustrations. True to the title, it questions, "why am I me?" It shows people of different characteristics and expands upon the differences. While it does not provide an answer, it leads to a more in-depth conversation on race and the physical characteristics that not only separates but brings us together. I selected this title to read to pre-school and Kindergarteners because it presents a simple question that can be expanded upon and promotes cultural diversity in the classroom.
