What Am I? by Papatia Feauxzar, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

When Nouredine goes to his first day of school at Fitra Pre-School, his joy is crushed when one of his schoolmates asked, 'What are you?' and mockeries ensued. He turns to his parents for an answer which satisfies him. This book uses a theist approach to discuss race issues with biracial children from Black and White parents. We can all agree that the 'What Race Are You?' is an inevitable question biracial and mixed race children will face at least once in their lives if not permanently. Nouredine's father is an American citizen originally from the Balkans. His mother is also a US citizen originally from West Africa. Nouredine is American and was born in Texas. Depending on how the reader looks at it, Nouredine can be considered African-American, biracial or multi-racial. | What Am I? by Papatia Feauxzar, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
