Be True to You!

An affirming picture book that reminds readers it's okay to be themselves!

Inside every body
a heart sings brave and true.
Slow down and listen carefully.
It's singing ...
'This is YOU!'

A wonderfully uplifting reminder that we are all different, and that showing our true selves to the world is never wrong.

About the Author

Maggie is a counsellor, family-dispute mediator, writer and artist who spends her weekends covered in paint and scribbling lists that are never completed. She is a famously mad aunt, nanna and mother who talks to herself out loud and falls over a lot in the garden at her house in northern New South Wales.

Maggie writes stories with heart and soul for children and adults that encourage kindness, hope and resilience.
