Why read it?

1 author picked It Starts With Me! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the journey this book brings readers on.

It raises questions of what can we build together, how do we live out our values, and what does a sense of belonging look like? As we each go on this journey of exploration, we can redefine our present and build a better future.

In addition, I appreciate that this book is also offered in Spanish, something that can be hard to find for young readers. 

From Artika's list on children celebrating diversity.
