Why read it?

1 author picked I Am We as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love that this book clearly communicates the message that each person is part of something bigger than themselves: a community.

But I also love that the author acknowledges that the feelings we have as individuals matter too. The better we feel inside, the better we are able to care for others, including friends, family, and our communities.

Kids will love the warm and friendly illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds, and adults will appreciate the important social-emotional learning this book fosters.
