What I Am

<b>The creator of <i>Little Owl's Night </i>explores and celebrates the complexities of what makes us who we are in this comforting and thoughtful picture book.</b><br><br>A young narrator describes herself: a girl, a granddaughter, Indian, and American. Soon, we see the young girl as a plethora of things: selfish <i>and</i> generous, mean <i>and</i> 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. <b>The creator of <i>Little Owl's Night </i>explores and celebrates the complexities of what makes us who we are in this comforting and thoughtful picture book.</b><br><br>A young narrator describes herself: a girl, a granddaughter, Indian, and American.
