Sometimes, we may wonder, how does caring for ourselves help anyone else? But then we realize that the better we feel inside, the more we can be there for others—our friends, families, and communities. We are part of something bigger than ourselves, and when we each turn our goodness and compassion outward, we can create, learn, and love.

From the New York Times bestselling team behind the “I Am” series comes a celebration of caring for ourselves and others with open hearts and minds. Whether listening to a friend, welcoming newcomers with open arms, or standing up against injustice, “I Am We” shows us what a true community looks like and the amazing things that can happen when we come together.







Intentionally building knowledge. I walked into Crate & Barrel years ago. Eyeballing the beverage mugs for children. It started with “Can I help you?”
Since then, on every holiday, they have looked out for me. Yup! They are doing their job, but they remember who I am and what I do. No matter how simple the task is, this is for the children.

• “Should we mail it to your residence?”
• “We already wrapped & boxed them.”
• “Meet us at the loading dock!”
• “We put extra boxes for the delivery items.”
Thank You, Crate & Barrel, for your service!
