An empowering and beautiful read about embracing the courage and vulnerability that make us human-and ultimately, learning to love ourselves. -- Lizzie Damilola Blackburn From the power of silence to the strength of an embrace, the uplifting story offers an alternative to the stereotypes around strength, and encourages all children to believe that they can be strong in their own way.
