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.
