The Creator

Why I wrote
this story

I wanted to write the book I wished existed when I was a child — one that looked at a kid and said, simply: you are wonderful, exactly as you are.

Every word in I Like Me comes from a real place — from watching children discover their own greatness, and from knowing how powerful it is when a child first hears those three little words: I like me.

"If a child reads this book and goes to sleep feeling just a little more sure of who they are — then I've done my job."

This book is for every child who needs a reminder that their mind, their voice, their laugh, and their big beautiful self are worth celebrating. That they are valuable, beautiful, worthy and enough just as they are — every single day.
