Jonathon faces a challenge at school, but his mom's advice only adds to his confusion. As he prepares to return to class, he wonders if he can make sense of it all. This engaging story explores the journey of trusting one’s identity amidst uncertainty. It illustrates how the words of others, no matter how nonsensical, can influence our self-perception. This essential lesson in confidence and self-advocacy is perfect for readers of all ages and is sure to become a bedtime favorite. The author, Kelly Leiter, has been passionate about education since childhood, recalling a note sent to her mother about her role as a teacher. She began her professional journey in 1982 and continues to inspire students today. This story, inspired by a real-life experience with her son, was first featured in Crystal McVea's bestseller and has resonated in classrooms and workshops across North America. Debbie Gillund, the illustrator, inherited her artistic talent from her grandmother and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. She lives there with her family and a notably clumsy cat. The book serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of self-identity and embracing who we are, leaving a lasting impact on its readers.
