My Life as I Know It

It isn't easy being a kid, and it's even harder to grow up; but sometimes there are people along the way who can really help you. The main thing is you need to believe in yourself and in who you are and you need to keep on believing in yourself and who you are no matter what. Penelope Dyan brings all of these thoughts into focus through the un-named heroine in this book. The reason her heroine has no name is so you can think of her as if she is you! Dyan is an award winning author, a former teacher and an attorney who not only understands kids of all ages, she remembers when she was a kid! This is why all her books are age appropriate and funny as well as age friendly. Life is not always perfect, but Dyan reminds us to stay the course and to never forget to be true to who we are
