EXCERPT

  

The world is a great, big place, with billions of people here on Earth,

And trillions of stars up in space.

It may not be easy to know right from wrong,

To feel that you fit in, or to know where you belong.

It is OK to feel confused and to be unsure of where you are going,

But here is something that is worthy of knowing:

In our world, it is important to be accepting and inclusive of each other,

While also celebrating and encouraging what makes us unique from one another.

You will learn so much along the way;

Growing up does not happen in just one day.

Remember that getting to know yourself is a very good start.

Your life is full of meaning; find the wonder that sets you apart.

She hopes that through her writing, she will inspire her children, as well as many others, to do just that.

My review:

 

4.25 stars

 

 

What it Means to be Me by Danielle Dawn Falk is a children’s book that celebrates life and individuality. It has colorful pictures that accompany poetry with an encouraging message of inclusivity and willingness to learn.

 

I think this is a beautiful little book that is a great way to stimulate conversation about acceptance both of oneself and others. It reminds us that it’s okay to question but not okay to exclude others because they aren’t exactly like us. I was a little disappointed that the little girl on the front wasn’t spotlighted more throughout the book and that the diversity wasn’t more prominent in the beginning, but I wholeheartedly support the written message.
