I am David is a 1963 novel by Anne Holm. It tells the story of a young boy who, with the help of a prison guard, escapes from a concentration camp in an unnamed Eastern European country and journeys to Denmark. Along the way he meets many people who teach him about life outside the camp.
The book, originally written in Danish, has been translated into several languages, including Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and German, Dutch, English, Afrikaans, French and Konkani. In the United States, the book was first called North to Freedom, but it is now also being published as I am David. It was made into a film in 2003.
