Bogen om dig og mig er lavet som en introduktion til børn om de mange identiteter, vi hver især har. Bogen er andet bind i en børnebogsserie, der fokuserer på tolerance-kultur. Første bog i serien er Line får en mango – bøgerne kan godt læses hver for sig.Identitetsrelaterede emner som race, køn, seksuel orientering og religion diskuteres meget i nutidens samfund. Denne lille søde børnebog er designet til at give børn mulighed for at finde sig selv på hver side. Håbet er at den vil kunne øge selvtilliden og selvrespekten for børn (og de voksne, der læser bogen), der er del af en identitetsminoritet, samt forståelsen hos dem der ikke er.Der er netop en mangel på bøger, der hjælper forældre, lærere og terapeuter med at introducere og diskutere identiteter og vigtigheden af ​​at omfavne mangfoldighed. Forfatterne mener, at dette er afgørende for sundhedsudviklingen i en verden, der stadig lider under systemisk undertrykkelse og ønsker at give børn mulighed for at omfavne forskelle på trods af det stress, der kan være forbundet med dem.Bogen introducerer kort og let forskellige identiteter. Teksten er skrevet i rim, og er suppleret af de smukke og detaljerede illustrationer, som giver den voksne mulighed for kort eller dybt at diskutere hver identitet, som er mere eller mindre relevant for, hvad barnet oplever i sit liv.Bogen er skrevet af Dr. Lauren Wadsworth og Dr. Marcus Rodriguez, illustreret af Shima Zarei, og oversat af børnebogsforfatter Andreas Valentin Wadskjær.

Line får en mango er første bind i en børnebogsserie, der fokuserer på tolerance-kultur. Anden bog i serien er Bogen om dig og mig – bøgerne kan godt læses hver for sig. Line Larsen er otte år gammel. Hun bor i Kastanje Bakke med sin lillesøster, sin lillebror, sin mor og sin far. Og i gæstehuset i baghaven bor onkel Mourits med sin skildpadde. Line får en mango er historien om, hvad der skete med Line Larsen en solrig uge i begyndelsen af juni. Det er en historie om en mango, om et mysterium – og også om at dele. Historien lærer desuden børn, at man ikke altid kan dømme mennesker på deres adfærd og udseende, da der kan være underliggende ting, som man ikke kan se på overfladen. Vi møder f.eks. en kat, der har hjul til at hjælpe sin mobilitet, og en mand, der bryder med samfundsmæssige kønsnormer ved at gå med øreringe. Bogen er skrevet af Dr. Phil Zuckerman, illustreret af Shima Zarei, og oversat af børnebogsforfatter Andreas Valentin Wadskjær.
