I Love Being Me

Sometimes it's hard being different or so, Polka Dottie, a long legged turtle, thought! I Love Being Me is the delightful tale of how Polka Dottie discovered, with the help of her new friends, Flicker and Hawk, to celebrate her uniqueness and embrace her Pizzazz!

Every one of us has this uniqueness--we have our own Pizzazz. Let's celebrate these wonderful differences--just like Polka Dottie and her friends: )

This is my best friend, Linda, sharing the joy of launching my new book, I Love Being Me!

One day, I was reading I Love Being Me! to a class of first graders. As I was reading, a little girl excitedly said, “That’s me! I’m Polka Dottie!” As an author, I can’t tell you how that little girl touched my heart!

Books Reviews!

" What a great story and the illustrations really bring the characters to life in such a fun and pizzazzy way. Love this book - engaging and has such a great message."

" I bought copies of this book for my grandchildren. The 3 year old (the oldest) loves it. He has a difficult time with his speech and is delayed. This is the kind of book that shows him it's ok to be himself. He wants it read over and over again to him."

"My preschool twins received this as a gift - and I just adore it. This is not only a cute book that I am willing to read over and over (and over) but one with a great message about recognizing other's unique qualities. Total win-win."
