I Know Who I Am
I might be scared of the dark
Lightning can be loud
I’ll scream like a zombie
If the power goes out
But even when I’m scared, I know who I am
Even when I’m scared, I know I can be brave
I know I can be brave
I know who I am

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
