A young girl spends the day exploring the outdoors, and as she does, she realizes that every experience--from watching butterflies flit to feeling the sting of raindrops--shapes who she is meant to become. A perfect gift for graduation or any special occasion.

Who are you?
asks the wide world around me.
I am the solid rock beneath me,
the soft clouds above me
and the air moving through me

With each step in nature, a young girl contemplates her place in the world. The question, "Who Are You?" becomes a mantra, asked by the wide sky above and the valley below. It echoes through her adventures as she encounters life's simple treasures—a fallen acorn, a graceful butterfly, the embrace of a towering tree. But everything isn’t sunshine and butterflies. There are also unexpected challenges—the sting of raindrops, the uncertainty of darkness. But as the girl perseveres, she realizes that every moment—light or dark—is part of the journey that will lead her to where she needs to be and who she is meant to become.

Here is a moving and whimsical picture book that places value on who you are, not what you are.
"An artful invitation to big questions and connections." —Kirkus Reviews

"The no-tech, boots-on-the-ground, no-holds-barred sense of independent adventure at the heart of this book is a guidepost to the traditional childhood of generations past and is a breath of fresh air." —School Library Journal

"A breezy read aloud to encourage interactions with nature." —Booklist

"Keane offers a centering path forward in this portrait of self-discovery through connection." —Publishers Weekly
