The World Needs a Uniquely Happy You

The World Needs a Uniquely Happy You

“ In a town not far from here, There lived a group of friends, They all had different heritage, And very different ends.” This group of friends is different. They are different because they are different. They all come from different heritages, have different personalities, and have different hopes and dreams. What they have in common is that they celebrate each other’s differences and have made a pact that they will be whoever they want to be when they grow up, no matter what anyone else thinks. This is a story all about being true to yourself, be happy and not letting the world tell you what to do with your life!

Verified Purchase I truly LOVE this book! I read it to my 7-year-old daughter and teen nieces, and I feel like it planted an important seed in their mind... that they should pursue their dreams and goals -both personal and professional - no matter what others may think. And to not be judgmental of friends who may choose differently. In a simply way and with fun rhymes, this book makes it easy for children to enjoy this uplifting message. The illustrations are also great too- very colorful and pretty!

Inspiring and Encouraging Verified Purchase Among the sea of books available, this one was a great find and perfect for young aged children. It has the perfect balance of illustrations and words which motivated my 5 year old daughter to read. The storyline leaves a positive message of encouragement and inspiration. My two older boys (age 8 and 10) really enjoyed it as well. Hope to see more work from this amazing author who clearly put a lot of thought into this book. Makida Arshi is both an author and a nurse from Virginia. She is of Ethiopian descent and lives with her husband, Dr. Ismael Yussuf, and her three wonderful daughters Hira, Nina, and Ayah.She has always struggled with the societal expectations of women. At certain points, she has had to make the choice between working, staying at home to look after her children . . . or both! In making those choices, she has often found that whichever one she made, there would always be some part of society that would have a problem with it. Makida hopes to be instrumental in dismantling such expectations of women across the world. This is why she saw the need to write a book to encourage young readers, girls in particular, that it is OK to be what they choose to be as long as they are happy doing it, to embrace who they are and live their truth.
