“Little one, whoever you are, wherever you are, there are little ones just like you all over the world.”
So begins the Australian author Mem Fox’s joyful picture book Whoever You Are, a celebration of the world’s diverse cultures, both our similarities and differences.
Leslie Straub’s innovative, colourful, folk art–style oil paintings are of children from all corners of the globe. They all reflect Fox’s message that no matter where we come from, within our hearts:
"Joys are the same, and love is the same. Pain is the same, and blood is the same."
