Can I Build Another Me?

A wildly imaginative journey into what makes each of us uniquely ourselves

What would happen if you could build another you? This delightfully philosophical picture book follows a child's hilarious train of thought as he decides to make a clone of himself—and discovers that figuring out what makes him HIM is far more complicated than expected.

Is it the scar on his knee or his sticky palms? His love of acorns or the way he winks? As our young protagonist ponders these questions, his imagination spirals into wonderfully absurd territory. Through Shinsuke Yoshitake's quirky illustrations and brilliantly inventive storytelling, children are invited to explore the fascinating puzzle of identity and individuality.

This is philosophy for children at its finest—a book that opens up countless opportunities for reflection and discussion whilst being thoroughly entertaining and genuinely funny. With each page offering new insights into what makes us who we are, it's a story that celebrates the beautiful complexity of being human.

Perfect for curious minds who love to think deeply about the world around them, this award-winning Japanese author's work has captivated children and adults worldwide with its unique blend of humour, wisdom, and imagination.
