[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a lovely, thoughtful book for young people, exploring the topic of personal identity and finding your voice. The first half is a more non-fiction style discussion of identity and what it means. The second half contains poems and creative pieces by the author. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook as it's great to hear the poems spoken, with the rhythm and intonation that was intended.
