The world will try and tell you who you are, but it's up to you to decide who you want to be.
From a very early age, children hear countless opinions (both positive and negative) from other people about themselves. My mom says I'm sweet, like a flower in bloom.
My dad says I'm majestic, like a towering tree.
My sister says I'm stubborn, like an immovable rock.
My brother says I'm wild, like a stormy sea.

A beautiful ode to self-confidence and love, How I See Me is a book that encourages children to love themselves and decide who they are for themselves.
I hear a lot of different opinions about who I am, but I don't have to agree.
I try to remember what really matters, and that is how I see ME!
Both lyrical and uplifting, How I See Me canvases what one young girl hears from the people in her life, and what messages she ultimately adopts for herself. Perfect for confidence-building and teaching self-love, How I See Me is the perfect gift for mothers and daughters, baby showers, and graduation.
How I See Me was written by a mother for her seven-year-old artistic and sensitive daughter to remind her that her inner voice matters. Nine years later, the daughter illustrated the book that her mom had written for her.
