Description

If you were not you, who would you be? Maybe a whale in the deep blue sea? Hank the pup is happy just being himself, except for one little problem-a tiny flea buzzing in his ear, telling him that he's not good enough. What if he were a monkey? Or a bird? Or even a lion? Wouldn't that be better than just being himself?

Sometimes it is hard to avoid the pressures to change who you are just to fit in. Will the flea convince Hank to be someone he's not, or will Hank stay true to himself?

Critical Reviews

"I'd Rather Be Me is a wonderful celebration of individuality and self-expression. With beautiful illustrations and a heartwarming message, this book gently guides children to embrace their uniqueness with courage and confidence. An essential addition for any young reader's bookshelf, inspiring them to shine bright in the world!

-Nima Patel, founder of Mindful Champs, parenting coach, and author of the picture book The Best You


"I'd Rather Be Me is a much-needed, child-friendly antidote to the photo-filtered and social-media-worthy world we live in that glamorizes changing oneself to fit in or be cool. Our messaging to children should be to celebrate, cherish, and have confidence in their uniqueness, and this book does just that!"

-Christina Furnival, licensed professional clinical counselor, mom of three, and author of the award-winning Capable Kiddos series
