Just who Am I! And Other Stories is a sweet book with imaginative stories where the various characters, from little black cats to sprightly angels, navigate their way through one of the most important questions in life—who are they really? The book has four short stories with hidden messages on values and emotions such as love, compassion and forgiveness amidst the confusing backdrop of fear, doubt, and anger. The stories are suitable for young children, ages 5 to 9, to help them learn to identify their inner strengths and natures. The tales are of: Neel, a little cat trying to prove that there is more to him than being just a miniaturized feline, who has the adventure of a lifetime which makes him realize that, just like the chameleon and the worm he is ‘life and love’. Sparkles is an angel whose desire for her own halo brings her to Earth. Her story is on the joy of giving, as she realizes that the more light she gives out, the greater her own light becomes.
