“I am human
I am a work in progress
Striving to be the best version of ME”
Susan Verde wrote the picture books: I Am Yoga, I Am Peace and I Am Human in her wellness series. I Am Human is a hopeful meditation on all the great (and challenging) parts of being human, it shows that it’s okay to make mistakes while also emphasizing the power of good choices by offering a kind word or smile or by saying “I’m sorry.” At its heart, this picture book is a celebration of empathy and compassion that lifts up the flawed fullness of humanity and encourages children and (adults) to see themselves as part of one big imperfect family—millions strong.
