Editorial Reviews

Review

"I really enjoyed this book and the message it conveyed. We live in times where there's so much division, based on race, gender and religion. The beautiful message in this book is simple, we re all human beings with the same basic wants and needs. The book teaches children about other countries around the world, a nice way for them to learn about history and about other cultures. Diversity is a beautiful thing. and we should embrace it not fear it. Excellent, excellent job author. Thank you so much for putting something positive out into the world. I highly recommend this book." S.A.

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 Commonalities across Geography
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is book eight in the author’s research-based “I Am Proud” series, available as eBook, paperback, and hardcover. It consists of short biographies with national highlights of youths from a selection of 19 different countries or states of the USA. (Other books in the series deal with other geographic selections.) The objective is to illustrate commonalities despite different languages, customs, and so forth. The youths are fictitious, though inspired by real people. The selection of countries and states in the book are genuine: Antarctica, Botswana, Burundi, Costa Rica, Guinea, Honduras, Italy, Kuwait, Maine (USA), Malaysia, Martinique, Nevada (USA), Northern Mariana Islands, Pitcairn Islands, Reunion Islands, Singapore, Tunisia, Uruguay, and Vermont (USA). The book is organized alphabetically by location name. Each vignette reads like a letter to someone in the USA from a thoughtful, educated, and friendly youth along with colorful photos of national flags, native peoples, and activities in daily lives. The Antarctica youth is an Emperor Penguin, so the author obviously has a sense of humor. The vignettes are well written and edited.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Facts About Different Places Around the World
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I enjoyed this small but fun fact book very much. Most of it involved various people living in different places who not only disclosed to us what they hoped would be their future occupation but also what are some of the unique facts about the place where they lived. The book was well-written and easy to follow. The only issue I had with it was at the beginning of the book when a penuin called the Emperor King was introduced. This was the only animal that was featured which was followed by real life people in the rest of the book. For this reason, I give this book four stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Series For Schools To Have
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    In book eight of the ‘I’m Proud’ series we travel on to seventeen more countries and two states in the U.S.A. On one page of this short book, is a letter from a young citizen of that country. He or she describes some traditions or features of that country. A picture of that country’s flag waves proudly beside the letter.

    On the following page is a picture of the teenage letter-writer. The picture is painted brightly and made to look like a photograph.

    Loved these short stories of different people, views, and perspectives from around the world. We are all different but very much the same as well. Charming details of culture with good facts sprinkled in (who knew it was illegal to jog in a certain country?)! Definitely enjoyed and will recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Other Places and Cultures
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022

    I was looking for books for my niece. She’s an avid reader and wants to visit faraway places when she’s older.

    A teacher friend suggested the I Am Proud of Who I Am: I hope you are too books, as a perfect birthday gift for a 5th grader.

    I looked through the series and chose book eight. Each book in the series contains short narratives about countries and places around the world told by a young person who lives in that location. Except for Antarctica, that story is told by a penguin that calls himself the emperor.

    The stories are delightful and just long enough to pique interest to know more.

    I am proud of who I am is a colourful and beautifully illustrated children’s book with a nice sentiment about all the different people around the world and the countries they come from. The book takes the form of letters which introduce different characters from different countries and the jobs they would like to do. A great one for the kids learning about the world and different cultures.

    The authors of the book tries to highlight the differences and similarities of the people in the planet. Asks each one to be proud of who he is. I quote from the book “we are more alike than we are different”.
