“Little one, / whoever you are, / wherever you are, / there are little ones / just like you / all over the world.” So begins the Australian author Mem Fox’s joyful picture book Whoever You Are, a celebration of the world’s diverse cultures, both our similarities and differences. Leslie Straub’s innovative, colorful, folk art–style oil paintings of children from all corners of the globe are bordered with photographs of hand-carved, bejeweled frames—and they all reflect Fox’s message that no matter where we come from, within our hearts “Joys are the same, / and love is the same. / Pain is the same, / and blood is the same.” A gem!

A great message beautifully delivered.
I would use this in a primary or middle school classroom as a way to introduce the topic of identity and multiculturalism. It would be a great introduction to study about other cultures and "who I am." Gorgeous illustrations!
Both my girls have enjoyed this book.A simple and clear message that wherever we live, however we look or dress, underneath we are all just people. Brightly colored illustrations give the reader plenty to look at.
