What I Am

Divya Srinivasan

A young girl considers how to answer a question about what she is. Her response gathers many parts of her identity: she is a girl, human, daughter, granddaughter, Indian, and American. She also describes herself through contrasts and changing feelings: she can love animals while being nervous around them, or be selfish and generous, mean and kind, scared and brave in different circumstances. The book presents identity as personal, layered, and connected to family and relationships.
