Text and Images from Is There Anyone Like Me?
I wonder if there’s another me somewhere in the world.
Who looks the same.
And talks the same.
And even has my curls.
Someone with my eyes my ears. Who even has my laugh.
Who can do what I can do …
… and can’t do what I can’t.

About Book Dash
Book Dash gathers professional creatives – writers, illustrators, designers, editors – who volunteer to create high-quality children’s books that anyone can freely download, translate, print and distribute. Most of the work is done on a Book Dash day, when small teams work for over twelve straight hours, each producing a new book.
Why Book Dash?
Books purchased from publishers cost too much. In order to distribute more books for South African children, Book Dash participants work as publishers in a single day, having a book with no publishers mean the book will be a lot cheaper the only cost will be printing the books. With these, anyone can run sponsored prints and the finished books can be handed to children.
Every child should have a hundred books when they reach the age of five. that means handing down 600 million free books to South African children who probably could not afford to buy them, More children grow up not learning how to read and write well, and every day we lose more of these children. Let us not neglect these children and help them overcome poverty by first teaching them how to read and to enjoy the worlds that a book can open up.

I love this cute book. It’s great for teaching children about culture and diversity. I’m going to use this book for a class project for my graduate course.
Great book! 10/10 would read again.
