For years I have put "get some of my writing published" on my New Year's resolutions and each year I let life interfere. This year I was determined to wade through all the intricacies of self-publishing and get it done. And I did it! It really was a lot of work but I got quite an education and certainly the next time will not be nearly so intimidating.I Wanna Be ME is the first in the "I Wanna Be..." series of children's books for ages 2-6 yrs. However, it will appeal to adults and all ages in between simply for its message of embracing who you are and how trying to be something different is not a good feeling at any age.
The line, "But don't make me dress up and look sweet and frilly. To you I look great but to me I feel silly" is an example of how we as parents can sometimes project our own desires on a child who has the need to act or dress in a fashion that is not the expected norm.
Illustrator Rose Gauss has done a superb job of capturing the lyrical prose of I Wanna Be ME and making it flow beautifully with her whimsical characters in pen and ink and watercolor drawings.
This book will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas gift giving for that special child in your life.
