he story starts with an African American boy looking in the mirror at himself.
“Jeremy. ‘That’s who I am.’” The story continues in a rhyme through a first- person rap song writing. He defines himself as a little brother, son, writer, city child, artist, dancer, runner, dreamer. The other people in Jeremy's life also help him define who he is. Myers use an energetic storyteller and very vibrant collage illustrations to tell the story and to inspire readers to define themselves by thinking about the many dimensions of who they are. The story defines a child with high self esteem by simply looking inward and also describes city life through the child’s eyes.
