You will not find this review on Picturebookdad but Ken was nice enough to allow me to print what he had to say about Why Am I Me?
Stephen,
I appreciate you interest in Picturebookdad.com.
I enjoyed Why Am I Me? I found it to be
thoughtfully written and nicely drawn.
However, I feel it doesn't have quite enough
dad-appeal to reach my target audience
of reluctant-reader dads.
I hope you understand.
Best wishes,
Ken
I do/did understand I took shot, this book is the closest that I illustrated to what he looks for in picture books for his audience. But if you don't try you will never know.
It is a great site and I would suggest to go visit it often.
