This is the perfect read for curious children and parents, who want to know more about what makes them so uniquely themselves. Written by Philip Bunting, author and illustrator of Mopoke and Another Book About Bears A brilliant conversation-opener to talk about bigger concepts and ideas, such as feelings, gender and race Includes full colour illustrations with a graphic style, to keep children entertained as you turn each page
