I am human
I am a work in progress
Striving to be the best version of ME
From the picture book dream team behind I Am Yoga and I Am Peace comes the third book in their wellness series: I Am Human. A hopeful meditation on all the great (and challenging) parts of being human, I Am Human shows that it’s okay to make mistakes while also emphasizing the power of good choices by offering a kind word or smile or by saying “I’m sorry.” At its heart, this picture book is a celebration of empathy and compassion that lifts up the flawed fullness of humanity and encourages children to see themselves as part of one big imperfect family—millions strong.
“The third in a gentle, motivational series, following I Am Yoga and I Am Peace, encourages readers to practice compassion and kindness. The illustrations feature many diverse child characters, while Verde’s straightforward “I” statements invite self-reflection.” -- – Publishers Weekly
“This community-minded book is a hopeful meditation on the amazing and challenging aspects of being human. The simple, compassionate message is supplemented by colorful illustrations that help kids understand the abstract—but incredibly important—concept of empathy.” -- Curbed
"This is a warm, empathetic book that deserves a place on every child's bookshelf and in every school. Moving and wise." -- Carousel
