***

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.

'A very funny, marvellously philosophical picture book full of acute and humorous observations … each page offers an opportunity for conversation' - Playing by the Book Blog

'Perfect for children who wonder what makes them unique … spins its philosophical plates with humour and dexterity' - Guardian

'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' - Red Reading Hub
