Many of us look into a “mirror” daily and see a false image reflected of who we are and who we want to be. The pressure that we place on ourselves and on others to meet a standard of perfection can be too much for us all based on what we “see” in our personal mirror.
 
This story is a narrative about learning to be comfortable in our own skin and to accept the beauty that we carry as individuals while we seek to share the gifts and talents that we all possess. Each of us deserves to have a clear and positive image of ourselves and others as we strive to be the best version of who we are created to be.
 
This story is written to begin a conversation with students about the gift of our uniqueness and the importance that we all have. The message is intended to convey that we are valued as we are and to stay focused on reaching our own goals and dreams.
 
Audience: All children, parents, caregivers, and educators.
