We all know how important it is for children to learn self-acceptance. What we love about our new book is through Yelodoggie’s quest to find out why he’s yellow, a message of “we’re all different, and that’s ok” can be subtly sent to young readers. Plus, it’s just fun! Makes a great gift for the little ones in your life.
Why Am I…?
A Yelodoggie Book
by Ari Wulff
with Robert McCarty
Floyd is a happy dog with many friends. One day, though, someone asks Floyd why he is yellow . . . but Floyd had never thought about it! He doesn’t know the answer. After all, he isn’t a lemon. He isn’t a banana. He is a dog.
“Why am I yellow?” he wonders.
Soon Floyd goes on a quest to find the answer, and meets up with many of his friends and other animals along the way. Why Am I? is a great family conversation starter about accepting ourselves and others just as we are, and provides a soothing bedtime read with the kids. For ages 4 and up with an adult’s help, or 6 and up for beginning readers.
“Why Am I…? is a beautiful book to delight kids and adults alike with lively, attractive illustrations and a cleverly posed message about value and identity. Every page is frame-worthy.”—Bob Tarte, author of Enslaved By Ducks, Kitty Cornered, Fowl Weather, and Feather Brained
