About the Author

In a world that often judges by appearances, Galileo and Galilei, Embracing Who We Are offers a heartfelt story for children aged 5-12 about discovering self-worth and the power of authentic friendship.

Galileo, a child often teased for being ‘different,’ and Galilei, who hides her insecurities behind popularity, learn that true friendship begins when they embrace their unique selves. Through their journey, readers discover:
- Self-love isn’t earned—it’s claimed.
- True friends see your heart, not just your flaws.
- Your worth isn’t defined by grades, looks, or others’ opinions.
Inspired by the author’s own journey of healing and a transformative dream, this beautifully illustrated book is perfect for:
- Parents wanting to teach resilience and self-acceptance.
- Educators fostering empathy and anti-bullying discussions.
- Children navigating friendships and societal pressures.
Complete with 2 pages for children and caregivers to note down things they love about the child, this book is a beautiful and meaningful gift that will last a lifetime.
