Why Am I Me?
Paige Britt, illustrated by Sean Qualls, Selina Alko
Two children encounter one another on a city subway platform and continue riding across from each other on the train. Their questions about why each person is themselves, rather than someone else, open a reflection on identity and on imagining another person’s experience. An African American boy and a light-skinned girl consider how they might differ if they were someone else, while the visual story places them within a diverse city and moments of solitary thought.
