This book is meant to be a deeply moving and to help its readers come to a deeper understanding of themselves as humans, what it means to be human, and the ways in which humans are ultimately the same in spite of our differences. I read an article on humanistic psychology and it captured the message of the book perfectly. I define my own meaning I make my own place in the universe. It felt like humanity was being elevated to deity, to God. I admit this could be an overreaction but. On the other hand, it could be making a statement-spiritual, psychological, or philosophical. There is no hidden-meaning or significance. On the one hand, I suppose "Human" could be the proper name of narrator.

This may or may not be Significant to the Message. The author's note is a "guided meditation." Will children read the author's note? Will parents? Will teachers? How important is the author's note to the text as a whole? I can't answer all those questions. My thoughts: If I could unread the author's note, I might have a more open mind. The book is a good reminder that all books-even picture books-have a world view. Otherwise message-driven books are called didactic. When a book's message is especially well-received, readers-critics-praise it. What does it mean to be human? That is the question tackled in Susan Verde's newest picture book. Premise/plot: What you see is what you get. I'm finding my way and choosing my path on this incredible journey. Susan didn’t hide the message in a story and I think that would make it more exciting for kids, but it’s a great story before bed in my opinion.moreįirst sentence: I am Human. The nephew thought this was ok and he gave it 3 stars and the niece enjoyed this more and she gave it 4 stars. I love the artwork and the colorfulness of the book. They aren’t the most exciting and they are about important things. I like Susan Verde and her work and I like books like this.
