Looking Like Me by Walter Dean Myers


Inspiring and unique. A goosebump inducing book! Looking Like Me encourages you to define yourself by all the things you are, a brother, sister, runner, dancer, writer, or reader. The illustrations are wild, a mixture of photography and paper cutouts of odd and whimsical things with a slight jazzy feel to it. The language is very simple with a simple rhyming pattern, but it isn't just simple type like most books but art unto itself. Different fonts, styles, colors, and placement, make reading it even more engaging and eye grabbing to kids. Very neat and artistic book. A celebration to the self.
