As They Are, So Are They!

We are often dazzled by what other people are like and the things they have or what they do (their hairstyle, glasses, clothes, skills…) and we think we would like to be like them. As They Are, So Are They! makes it clear that this could happen to all of us, that it is neither good or bad and that, in fact, other people also like the things we do, what we have, the way we are… Written by the bestseller author Jaume Copons and illustrated by Gusti, the characters in this story shine a light on children’s insecurities and jealousies, making us think about them. Because in the end, we are who we are, right?
