A bold and inspiring book about being yourself and speaking your truth, designed to spark meaningful conversations between kids and grownups.

An unapologetic and empowering conversation starter about being yourself.

What does it mean to be authentic? To speak your truth? To not shrink yourself to fit into someone else's box? Being authentic means showing up as you—everywhere, every day—without apology. In this book, Amanda Seales invites kids to embrace who they are, speak with confidence, and never let others make them feel small. With honesty, humour, and heart, Amanda shares why being yourself is the most powerful thing you can be.

A Kids Book About Being Authentic is an imprint of DK, focused on beautifully designed books that kickstart challenging, empowering, and important conversations for kids and their grownups.
