I Shine as Bright as a Firefly - by Neetu Kaur Deol Jhaj

Book Synopsis

Growing up as a young Punjabi girl, I did not know where I stood in this world. Just like adults, children have their own insecurities and have to learn to overcome issues with self-confidence and self-esteem. I wrote this book to give children the courage to embrace themselves exactly as they are and just as they were created-birthmarks, moles, and all. This book is to help your child push past any limitations they face within themselves right now, rather than waiting until adulthood, when most of us come to the realization that we, at birth, had everything within us that we needed to take on any activity, sport, or passion.

Review Quotes

This book is a powerful talisman. Its message cannot be conveyed too frequently or too loudly. It is for all of us because there is no one on this planet who has not felt lacking at some point or another because of what we deem our flaws. Kudos to the author for simply, succinctly, softly reminding us that we are all unique, beautiful creatures who enhance this world in which we live. It's always the simplest, softest delivery that is the most powerful. -Ann Collins, Book Reviewer
