Children's books about identity

Children's books that take identity as a central theme — who am I, where do I fit, what does it mean to be me. The shelf covers picture-book identity (a small character finding their place in a family or group) through middle-grade identity (the much harder work of figuring out who you are when the answer keeps changing).
