I Am You: A Book about Ubuntu

Grandkids loved it!

This story helps you to see yourself in others before you take any action. This is a great book at seeing others with clear eyes.

Even though our human connections seem challenging to understand, I believe we can start this kind of thinking early. I read this book to my four-year-old granddaughter, who listened intently. I know she did not totally understand. However, the idea of humans being connected was planted. Once we realize that we all depend on one another, we will create a kinder world. The time to plant this seed happens when children are still young. One part the little child seemed to understand was that if I hurt you, I actually hurt myself.

The book is enjoyable and the illustrations were nice to look at. This is an easy to read book for my nine year old. But it is not something she would read again she said.

My little one loved the vibrant pages and I loved the message. We are all connected and loving and respecting someone else is loving and respecting yourself. Good add to our collection!

Love the message. Love the tradition. I got this for my grandsons and for our little neighborhood library.

This story is good for younger children trying to learn how to be a better person in the world! Of course they may have questions so parental guidance is suggested.

A beautiful depiction of children of color with a simple yet meaningful message. Great for the classroom, bedtime, and more!
