Being Me: A Collection Of Educational Poems for Kids, Inspiring Conversations About Mental Health

What does it mean to be you?
Like the children in the 'Being me' poems, you may have dreams and goals, you may be weird and wonderful. You might have moments when you feel sad or lonely; times in your life when you want to close your eyes and allow the ground to swallow you whole. This book shows us that those moments are not only what we all have in common, but they are the moments that make you, you.
