Powiedz mi, kim jestem

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

She was born in a warm, cozy slipper. And since the slipper was the first thing she saw, she mistook it for her mother. And maybe she would have thought that she was a slipper for the rest of her life, if it weren't for a certain beaver who didn't want to become an engineer.

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

On her way, she will meet many originals who, like her, are looking for their place in the world. A bat that wanted to be yellow, a lone wolf, an empathetic lizard with orthopedic talent or a whole colony of moles - these are just some of them. Will they help her find the answer to the question of who she really is?

Paola Mastrocola's philosophical story is entertaining and makes us reflect on what we are like and what results from how others perceive us. The book was translated into six languages and became a bestseller in Italy.
