I Am One A Book of Action

Encourage optimism, engagement, and resilience with this positive-sprited picture book.

The New York Times bestselling I Am series includesI Am Love and I Am Peace. School Library Journal praised I Am One as “attractive . . . makes complex ideas simple and opens doors for optimistic discussion.”

On the first page, the main character asks a beautiful bird, “How do I make a difference?” They doubt their ability to make a difference because they are “so small.”

When the bird gives them a seed, they realize that “beautiful things start with just One.” They can plant a seed and start a garden. They can also start a journey, paint a masterpiece, compose a melody, and break down walls.

All these actions start with “one” thing: a first step, a first stroke of paint, a first musical note, and a first brick.

Every movement and moment of change starts with purpose, with intention, with one. With me. With you.

Includes a guided meditation and self-reflection activity.
