Learning through others stories is a beautiful thing for children. This is a book that has such a beautiful story in it that can be inspiring for anyone. The story is of a remarkable adult that knew at a very young age who they were. The fact she knew at such a young age who she was is inspiring in itself. The book also discusses her fears which are mirrored in many children and adults today. Despite those fears she continued on her journey to change the world. Staying as the person she was born rather than embracing her truth became difficult. She decided it was time to become who she always knew she was. In doing this she found herself embraced by all leading her to not only change the world but to change herself in order to be happy. This is a story of determination, hope and fear. By staying in who she was born it shows the issues many children and adults face today. However, by embracing who she is and finally be open about this it shows that the fear can be faced and the truth can be embraced by all. This is such an inspiring story for anyone of any age and will be something that continues to make a change in this world.
