Me and You — Janet A. Holmes

An adorable exploration of friendship and childhood activities

There are many things that I like about being me.

I can sit quite still . . . or hop, skip and jump.

I can stand on my hands . . . or turn somersaults.

I can float on my back . . . or swim like a fish . . .

This delightful picture book is a series of reflections that the narrator, an endearing cloth rabbit, makes about himself and the things he can do. The brief text culminates with the ultimate reflection that the thing he likes best about being himself is that he can share his favorite activities with his friend, an equally endearing white mouse. The expressive illustrations complement the pared-back text with a subtle visual narrative."
