This program contains original sound design.

From Christian Trimmer comes What Are You?, a brilliant, new early-listener audiobook brimming with warmth and playfulness that explores questions of race and identity.

When a puggle meets two new poodle friends, there is a question the poodles feel they must ask.

What are you?
What am I?
Yes, what are you?
I am a dog.
No, what are you?

So begins a conversation about family and identity, and about the things we're good at... and why we're good at them.

Brimming with warmth and playfulness, What Are You? is an exemplary audiobook for early listeners. Equally funny and thoughtful, it includes prompts to facilitate important first conversations about stereotypes and bias between child and adult.

A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.
