I Am Me, You Are You - Louise Dorrat & Anthony Semann
Meet Gracie and her friends as we discover what they like to do.
A story that celebrates the wonderful worlds of similarity and difference.
- This story can be read aloud or sung, whichever suits your style and the children’s preference.
- Try adding clapping, knee slapping, or simple instruments such as egg maracas or clapping sticks. This brings the story to life in a playful and engaging way.
- Using rhyme, rhythm and repetition is important for early brain development and helps children develop literacy skills.
- The story challenges traditional ideas about what girls and boys can do, encouraging children to embrace a broader view of identity and possibility.
- It affirms that gender is not limited to being a girl or a boy, female or male. There are many ways to be, and all are valid and worthy of respect.
- The story supports children to recognise and respect differences; while also appreciating the many things we all share.
