BLURB:
Well,
one thing is for certain: everyone will feel something different after reading
What It's Like to Be Me!
Why you ask? It is
simply because every single one of us is completely unique; that is what makes
us who we are.
The young girl in this
book helps us understand that the journey of self-identification is not always
easy. In some cases, maybe we just have not given it much thought. I mean, how
often do we check in with ourselves? At times we are more focused on what
others may think about us, while we are truly unaware of what we even think
about ourselves.
With reflection, it is
sometimes necessary, and useful, to see ourselves objectively.
The young girl in What
It's Like to Be Me has to look within to find herself. Personal growth will
usually assist us in accepting the reality of who we really are. As life
changes and we grow through experience, it is up to us to be the best versions
of ourselves.
Living your truth is a
personal suggestion for making things a little easier when embarking on the
journey of knowing exactly who you are. Every experience will change us, maybe
a little, or maybe a lot. Who you are going to be in this world starts with you!
I wish you all a
wonderful journey!
Truth, love, and
respect always,
Elizabeth Ann O'Handley

Excerpt
Two:
This is my journey about being me.
I often wonder what others see.
Do they see me as kind,
or maybe carefree?
Or fearlessly brave? Hmmm, is that what they see?
I was not quite sure,
so, I wanted to see,
what is it that others think about me.
I hope they see truth to the fullest
degree,and a heart filled with love,
for all those to see

Review: With colorful illustrations and fun rhymes, this story reflects the journey of a young girl’s identity quest. We follow her as she questions the forest, the sea, the mountain, and the cloud. “What is it that you see in me?”
The truth was inside her the whole time. A great story about being who you are and loving it.
