Pros

Whoever You Are By Mem Fox3.jpg

According to Publisher Weeklythe author provides a compelling exploration of the differences between children that make them unique as well as the common humanity that unites them. In Fox's picture book, divisions of culture, race, and geography fall away in light of a global community where smiles, laughter, and tears are universally understood. The simple, rhythmic text, written in the second person, is designed to involve the reader directly: "Their lives may be different from yours and their words may be very different from yours. But inside, their hearts are just like yours."[3] Whoever You Are urges children to accept our differences, to recognize our similarities, and-most importantly-to rejoice in both.
