Who Am I?

by Stacy Davies, Judy Davies (Illustrator)

Who are you? Who am I? Are we more than just our names, our faces, and our stories? When we look at our world, the plants and animals, the stars and the moon—are we somehow connected to them, somehow connected to everything ? Maribelle Mansion ponders these questions in this simple story of a little girl who explores her connection to the world in which she lives. Told in easy-to-read verse and illustrated in vibrant, hand-drawn watercolor and ink paintings, Who Am I? is a children's picture book for a new generation of young minds that face a future in which acknowledging their connection to one another and to everything in nature will be essential. Most of all, it is a story that reminds each and every child that they are valuable, no matter where they come from, who they are, or how they look, and that they are never alone, because they, too, are an important part of our big, beautiful world.
