I Am Loved

This collection of poems centers on love and self-worth, with some poems drawing on African American themes. The poems are accompanied by bright watercolor and tempera artwork that uses color, shape, and movement. One page has a mirrored surface, allowing a child reading the book to see themselves. The book’s poems and visual elements return to the idea that love can be shared among children, parents, grandparents, and friends, while also inviting readers to recognize themselves within that message.
