An empowering picture book about the importance of stepping up (and
speaking up) to address injustice and effect change within our daily
lives, from the author of I Affirm Me: The ABCs of Inspiration for
Black Kids.
I Am Somebody takes the reader on a journey over the course of a day,
as our main character notices various forms of neglect and
injustice--from trash on the sidewalk and students butting in line
waiting for the bus, to not sharing on the playground and bullying about
food. In each instance, the young child remarks that SOMEBODY should do
something to remedy the situation(s) until, eventually, they realize
that they are the person that can effect change. This powerful story
reminds us that every living thing is unique and should be treated with
kindness and respect and that we are ALL "somebody."
