Sometimes I get shy
Sometimes I have courage
I always like to try new things
New things

I always like to try new things

Every
Stomp your feet
If you feel the same thing as me
Do you feel the same thing as me

About the Book
What I Am
‘A young narrator describes herself: a girl, a granddaughter, Indian, and American. Soon, we see the young girl as a plethora of things: selfish and generous, mean and 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.‘ – Goodreads
