What Are You?

I wrote my secondary project as a children’s book. The title What Are You! is a recurring question for many mixed-race people, like myself! The story follows Zara on her first day of secondary school. When asked “What are you?” and made to feel different by her classmates, she writes a poem to tell her story.
