Designed to boost self-esteem and build confidence in children of all ages, this repetitious picture book lifts the inner thoughts of a young girl who is proud of who she is. This book teaches children to be satisfied with who they are and more importantly, they learn to speak confidently about themselves, even in the midst of hardship.
 
By the end of the book, young readers will be happy to say, “I am who I am, there’s no one like me. I’m going to be everything I am destined to be.”
 
While this book features an African-American character, it’s message of self-worth and success is a universal one that can be enjoyed and appreciated by children of all races and ages. 

“I Am Who I Am” author Kimberly M. Nesmith has one other children’s book and a guided journal for girls, “The Big Magnolia Tree” and “I AM Loved: A Guided Journal to Cultivate a Feeling of Self-Love in Girls”.
