Powiedz mi, kim jestem

When we're born, we don't know who we are. And when there's no one to explain it to us, everything gets complicated. A funny and thought-provoking story about a certain… well, who exactly?

She was born inside a warm, cozy slipper. And because the slipper was the first thing she saw, she mistook it for her mother. And perhaps she would have thought she was a slipper for the rest of her life, if it weren't for a certain beaver who had no desire to become an engineer.

When she hears the question, "Who are you?", she answers differently every time. Because everyone sees her as someone different and expects different things from her. But what would she want for herself?

Along the way, she'll encounter many unique individuals who, like her, are searching for their place in the world. A bat who wanted to be yellow, a lone wolf, an empathetic lizard with a talent for orthopedics, and an entire colony of moles—these are just a few. Will they help her find the answer to the question of who she truly is?

Paola Mastrocoli's philosophical tale entertains and provokes reflection on who we are and what influences how others perceive us. The book has been translated into six languages ​​and became a bestseller in Italy.
