The "I" is a surprise bag!

Who or what is the "I"? It’s not until children start finding their parents a bit strange that they begin to question who they are, what defines them, and who they might become. They might notice that they share the same passion for soccer as Uncle Willy, that Mom's laugh sounds quite similar to their own, or that their eyes are the same color as Dad's. So, what factors determine our identity – and do we even have any influence over it? Clarissa "Clari" da Silva, host of "Wissen macht Ah!", explores the fascinating question of why we are the way we are in this children's non-fiction book. She playfully and at eye level explains how inheritance works and that we are not only shaped by our genes but also by our environment – and even by experiences that generations before us have had. With humor, clarity, and extensive knowledge, she introduces the new science of epigenetics and encourages children to shape their own identity. Because every "I" is a wonderful being with untapped possibilities. Inspiring, entertaining, and full of creative ideas, the popular TV host Clari ("Wissen macht Ah!", "Sendung mit der Maus") introduces children aged 10 and up to the connection between genes and personality development.
