Description
Book SynopsisOur Favorite Day of the Year meets Alma and How She Got Her Name in this warm, lyrical picture book about a child who learns to celebrate her multicultural identity and finds pride in all the stories and worlds that live inside of her.When it’s Multicultural Day at school, a young girl wonders how best to tell the story of who she is. With marigolds, mangoes, and stories of India? Fairy tales, cuckoo clocks, and German tales? Or cheeseburgers, superheroes, and American traditions?
When choosing only one doesn’t feel quite right, she realizes that stories from all three places make her who she is. With whole worlds inside her, she doesn’t have to choose just one—she can be all three.
Trade ReviewPraise for I Can Be All Three * “A love letter to the beauty and joy of multicultural identities, this vibrant picture book will surely spark discussion and reflection. An excellent choice for story time and classroom read-alouds.”
—School Library Journal, STARRED review “Alikhan renders a complex social concept with laudable simplicity, in doing so reassuring readers by speaking to ‘the hushed hopes / of many worlds / wrapped up inside of us.’”
—Publishers Weekly “An insightful, imaginative story about embracing our full selves.”
—Kirkus Reviews
