Editorial Reviews

Review

"Wow, a great educational book for children, that teaches something but not in a overwhelming fashion, so it doesn't seem like work. A nice way to introduce your child to how other cultures live, through hearing stories from children who live there. It also suggests a variety of future career choices a child might find interesting, stepping past the same old doctor, lawyer, astronaut, etc... and into fields they may have never thought of, so opening their minds to more opportunities. I would have loved this book as a child and even found it entertaining as an adult. For a parent who wants to help their child appreciate that even though people may come from different cultures and have different life stories, we all have things that are the same, such as the dreams we aspire to. It's unifying while appreciating diversity." - L.A. Sinatra

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

First, let me say - I didn’t set out to become a writer. I was too busy running — literally.

At fourteen, I was a competitive runner with my eyes on the finish line… until a friend (bless his clumsy soul) accidentally shattered my knee and my athletic dreams in one fell swoop. Overnight, I went from racing tracks to lying flat on my back, trapped beneath a fortress of blankets and a towering stack of Harlequin romances.

My dad took one look at those bodice-rippers scattered across my bed, said nothing, and disappeared — only to return moments later, drop a book onto my lap, and declare: “You need to broaden your reading horizons.” The book was Iceberg by Clive Cussler. And just like that, my fate was sealed. Dirk Pitt became my new hero. Adventure, mystery, danger — all danced off the page and straight into my imagination. While my knee healed, a new dream took shape: I wanted to whisk readers away on thrilling journeys of their own.

So here I am: a writer fueled by a twist of fate, a determined dad, and the legendary Clive Cussler. And while I may not be sprinting down tracks anymore, I’m still chasing stories — and loving every second of the race.​

It means the world to have you here with me. May my stories spark your imagination as wildly as they've sparked mine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great cover. Great message. Great book.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2022

    I loved this book. It’s a series of introductions from kids around the world spotlighting their different hometowns and cultures and why they’re proud to be who they are. It’s really sweet and beautiful and you’re actually learning without even realizing it. The trivia is very easy and seamlessly integrated. I was *slightly* bummed to find out that the kids were fictional and all written by one person, but it’s a credit to the author to make it feel like they could be real. As such, it’s a great introductory book. For my taste, I also wouldn’t have included the Sistine chapel passage, only because it’s the only one like it. But, otherwise, loved the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sketches of Youths from around the World
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is book one in the author’s “I Am Proud” series, available as eBook, paperback, and hardcover. It consists of one- to two-page autobiographical sketches with national highlights of youths from 19 different countries or states of the USA. The author’s expressed purpose is to show we’re all alike though varying in language, religion, customs, and colors. She informs readers that her characters—the youths—are fictitious, though inspired by real people. The countries and states are genuine; for example, Benin, Chile, Czech Republic, Fiji, and so forth, on to Wisconsin. The book is organized alphabetically by location name. Each sketch comprises what reads like text to someone in the USA from a thoughtful and friendly youth along with colorful photos of national flags, native peoples, and activities in their daily lives. The sketchs are similar, all well written and edited.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Building Bridges of Empathy and Understanding
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book was a pleasant surprise. I appreciated the author’s nuanced “deep dive” into unique features of life in many different corners of the world. Each narrative and region is presented in a brief couple of pages, almost like a sonnet. Although always better to meet people in real life, sometimes it is not possible to physically visit and immerse oneself in the culture and daily life of so many different people and places. This little book is a nice and thoughtful way to build some small bridges of empathy and understanding under the same shared, starry sky. The pictures and flags are a nice touch. Adding some maps (or one big map at the beginning or end of the book) would provide a great geography lesson, too!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book that all children should read!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    ‘I am Proud of Who I am: I Hope you are too’ is about the lives of children growing up in various places around the world. The book felt representative of a stack of pen pal letters. The stories are short and focus on a child’s interests and dreams. Min Seokjin from South Korea wants to be a pop star, while Tiwonge from Zambia wants to be a comedian. There is also Adara from Yemen who is already a mother of two at the age of seventeen. This book is a great way for children to recognize commonalities throughout the world, understand the hardships some young people face, and feel confident in who they are and hope to be. I was excited to see that my home state of New Hampshire was included for the US.

    This is a gem of a book. It was easy to read and a pleasure to add value to the conversations that I have had with my daughter about people from different backgrounds, faiths and cultures.

    The layout are nice as are the pictures. The introductions that the different people make is really helpful and an easy entry into the knowledge offered.

    My daughter is 9 and she loved it. We live in a very diverse city and she has many friends from different backgrounds so she has a basic understanding anyway however this helped her learn more about things that she was already interested in.

    Recommended read.
