American, Like Me?

About the Book American, Like Me? is about children of all backgrounds, cultures, and heritages coming together to celebrate the Fourth of July and their shared identity of being American. It is a celebration of diversity, community, and inclusivity.

About the Author Kaothar Baher El-Far is an Air Force veteran and a teacher who comes from a culturally diverse family. She was born and raised on the Muscogee Creek Nation (MCN) reservation in Oklahoma. Like her mother and daughters, she is a tribe member of the MCN. She is also the daughter of a Palestinian immigrant. As a child, her diverse background and family customs made her feel like an outsider to every culture – ultimately those experiences helped her appreciate many walks of life. She set out to write this book, which her 11-year-old-daughter illustrated, to encourage children to celebrate the unique styles that make up America. You can be an American like you—I can be an American like me!
