Reviews"Reading One Hundred Percent Me brought tears to my eyes as I followed the little girl through her encounters with people asking questions such as "what are you?," and through her attempts to respond. Although my background is 100 percent European, I believe I could have used this book as a child to help me understand how I am unique and one of a kind, just as Renee Rutledge's little girl finds a way to explain and be proud of her own heritage and uniqueness. The author's simple yet poetic language and the beautiful illustrations by Anita Prades carry the story forward to its happy conclusion."

SynopsisA heartwarming story about the joys of multicultural families and being mixed race. One Hundred Percent Me takes readers (ages 4 to 8) along as a young girl explores and accepts her unique identity. It can be confusing to be a child of mixed race. As the little girl moves through daily life in the big city, she hears some people say she looks more like her Puerto Rican dad, while others claim she takes after her Filipina mom. Should she favor one identity over the other? No! In fact, honoring every facet of her identity equally becomes the main character's favorite affirmation. This beautifully illustrated book about celebrating differences, claiming our belonging, and acknowledging our heritage encourages all readers to embrace the fact that we are all 100% ourselves., It can be confusing to be a child of mixed race.
