It’s OK
It’s okay
to tell me who you are
I am here
And I will keep you safe
Don’t be ashamed
I’ll keep it safe
It’s okay to be who you are
It’s okay to be shy
It’s okay be loud
It’s okay to tell me who you are
It’s okay to be brave
Or a scaredy

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
