Stephen Colbert has a burning question: what does it mean to be a pole? In this delightfully absurd children's book, he sets out to find the answer, exploring the highs and lows of pole-dom with his signature wit and charm. From the dizzying heights of flag poles to the humble garden stake, Colbert leaves no pole unturned in his quest to uncover the true essence of this enigmatic symbol. With laugh-out-loud musings and offbeat illustrations, "I Am a Pole (And So Can You!)" is a rollicking celebration of individuality and the joy of embracing your inner pole.
