Praise for The Me I Choose to Be:
A 2021 Shelf Awareness Book of the Year
A 2021 Chicago Public Library Best Picture Book Pick
"Imagination, ingenuity and passion collide on the pages of this inspiring tribute to children of color. The poetic composition from Natasha Anastasia Tarpley (I Love My Hair!; The Harlem Charade) coupled with the ingenious photography of Regis and Kahran Bethencourt (Glory: Magical Visions of Black Beauty) results in an exquisite book that trumpets the magic and unlimited potential of young lives...The Me I Choose to Be is a striking book with a powerful question for everyone: Who is the me you choose to be? "
"A mantra-esque refrain unites Tarpleyâs rhyming statements throughout, encouraging readers to embrace their multitudes....An empowering visual essay."
