Can I Build Another Me

A wildly imaginative story to encourage young readers to question the world around them. For children aged 7+

Overview

Can I Build Another Me? follows a child’s hilarious, wildly inventive train of thought as he decides to make a clone of himself – and starts to ponder what makes him HIM. Is it the scar on his knee or his sticky palms? Is it his love of acorns or the way he winks? The more he thinks about it, the more complicated it becomes...

'Philosophy for children this certainly is: I lost count of how many times it opens up space for reflection and discussion. It’s also totally empowering, funny, bound to induce self-reflection ... all build up to one thing when it comes to the latest Yoshitake and that one thing is, genius'
