A raucous picture book about difference, diversity and tolerance, from the author of CBeebies' Nikhil & Jay and Sona Sharma.
A rousing verse picture book for 5 years plus, about celebrating yourself but also allowing others to be themselves, and learning celebrate other voices too. Narrated by two different child voices, "Me" and "You", this is a fun young debate about identity, inclusion and respectful coexistence. Joyfully illustrated by Sophie Bass, this is a picture book with universal messages for anyone who's ever felt "put in a box".
