Being human means being messy, curious, kind, and sometimes afraid. In this beautifully simple book, children are invited to embrace the fullness of what it means to be a person — including our flaws, our feelings, and our deep capacity for compassion.
Through gentle text and Peter H. Reynolds’ signature illustrations, I Am Human helps young readers connect with themselves and others, planting the seeds of empathy, forgiveness, and inner peace.
