Who We Are! All About Being the Same and Being Different

Review

Who We Are! is a hybrid educational text and picture book with lovely illustrations that perfectly match the text. However, the text on each page is overwhelming for the picture book format. There are large paragraphs of text on each page, some featuring really difficult vocabulary. There's also dialogue on each page from the two kids featured. While it is a worthy topic, and shares some really great educational points in regards to equality, it doesn't quite hit the mark of being an excellent book.

Overall Book Score: good
