#1 New York Times bestseller!
Companion to I Am Love and I Am Peace
"An age-appropriate and hopeful look at what it means to be a
connected human on this planet." ―School Library Journal
Being human means we are full of possibility. We learn, we dream, we
wonder at the world around us. But we also make mistakes and can feel
fearful or sad.
From the bestselling team that created I Am Yoga, I Am Peace, I Am
Love, and I Am One comes a new hopeful celebration of the human
family. A colorfully and warmly illustrated book for young children, I
Am Human affirms that we can make good choices by acting with
compassion and having empathy for others and ourselves.
A child in a red-striped shirt and blue jeans explores the possibilities
open to them as a human being. Beginning with "I was born. A miracle!
One of billions but unique!" the text lists activities ("I am always
learning"; "I have BIG dreams"). The child explores the difficult sides
of being human, such as feelings of fear and sadness. They can "make
choices" and "move forward" with "thoughtfulness" (for example, giving
flowers to a friend they hurt), learning to live with kindness,
compassion, listening, and connection. "I am full of hope. I am human."
When we find common ground, we can feel connected to the great world
around us and mindfully strive to be our best selves.
Includes a guided meditation.
