This Is Who I Am (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781433848919)

What does it mean to belong to two cultures?

One little girl explores how she has come to be who she is. She knows that she is much more than where she is from. Her family came from Asia, but there is more to it. She is also her ancestors, their traditions, and their environment, and she is her parents, who bravely moved to a new country, and their dreams, and she is all the people who helped along the way and even the people who didn't. She is her own memories, from family visits and the journeys back home to new traditions and old customs. She is every teacher and every book that has opened her eyes to the world around her.

She is all her experiences and those of everyone who came before her. As she navigates through her rich heritage, she finds she feels proud to be who she is. With beautiful illustrations, rich prose, and a loving message, This Is Who I Am is a celebration of identity and the richness of diversity.
