“Book Descriptions: Nefertiti is joining the band to play the drums. Her dad proudly drops her at rehearsal, reminding her “You are Nefertiti!” to sooth her nerves, and she feels ten feet tall. But Miss Potts, the band leader, struggles to pronounce Nefertiti and shortens it to ‘Nef’. Little does she realise the catastrophic effect this will have on Nefertiti’s confidence. The girl literally shrinks – she can’t play the drums and the band can’t keep the beat. What is happening? “I am Nefertiti!” she whispers to herself. Drawing on her inner strength and with the support of the other children, they help Miss Potts recognise the importance of honouring Nefertiti’s name and together they rebuild Nefertiti’s confidence. The band resumes its rehearsal and now, when Nefertiti keeps the beat, the music sounds so sweet! With a diverse cast of characters and an eclectic range of musical instruments, I Am Nefertiti is a colourful, rhythmical picture book that celebrates the joy of music and encourages children to be proud of who they are. The vibrant illustrations echo the movement and rhythm of the music and visually depict Nefertiti’s emotions with clever use of scale and perspective. A great choice for reading aloud, I Am Nefertiti is an uplifting picture book that teaches children to embrace their name and identity, and to celebrate how unique and special they are.” DRIVE
