You Be You, illustrated by Sophie Bass and published by Walker Books is out in the UK now.
This book talks about how we should celebrate our unique selves, we should not worry about what others think. And at the same time, we should accept as they are, in their own uniqueness. The entire story is told in verse form, metaphors abound and it’s a call for action for all of us to co-exist in this world of differences with generosity and acceptance.
As a young child, I was introduced to Swami Vivekananda’s speech in Chicago - where he talks about the arrogance of the word “TOLERANCE” and welcoming the word “ACCEPTANCE” - and that is the theme of this book. We should not only celebrate our special place in the world but also acknowledge and accept others to be whoever they want to be.
I hope you will use this discussion guide to talk about what you’ve read and discuss its meaning with empathy and generosity.
You Be You, You’re Good at that.
But Let me be Me, what else can I be?
