I’m (Mostly) Happy Being Me
Anna Milbourne and Asa Gilland
In this sweet, thoughtful story, a little boy feels unhappy when he compares himself to his classmates. But he comes to realize there’s a lot more to a person than just what they’re good at.
Just like all the beautiful different pebbles he finds on the beach, each person is amazing in their own unique way. And that’s a thing to celebrate. He shares his new knowledge by giving each of his classmates an award for being themselves.
If you’re ever feeling sad like I was, he says, just remember, you’re the very best at being YOU. In doing this, he actually finds something he is very good at indeed – and that is being a very kind friend.

Tobulai keista, tobulai tu
Camilla Pang
Did you know that: finding your confidence is a lot like programming a computer? Understanding photosynthesis can teach you about following your passions? Peer pressure and Isaac Newton have more in common than you might think?
Well, welcome to Dr Camilla Pang’s scientific survival guide to growing up! As a child Camilla loved patterns and putting things in order. She was obsessed with Stephen Hawking. And the only language she really understood was science. Diagnosed with autism age 8, Camilla saw the world very differently.
But with science as her sidekick, she was able to translate ideas she could understand (like gravity, photosynthesis and algorithms) onto things she couldn’t (like peer pressure, emotions and finding your voice).
Kiekvienas kūnas
Molly Forbes ir Mollie Cronin
We all have a body. They don’t always function the same as other people’s. And they certainly don’t all look the same. But one thing is certain – every body deserves respect.
This is an essential guide to embracing and respecting all bodies, for readers aged 9+. Sometimes social media can make us feel like we’re not good enough if we don’t have a ‘perfect’ body. But the truth is, everyone feels bad about their bodies sometimes – even celebrities with millions of followers. Author and campaigner Molly Forbes is here to show you that you – and ONLY you – get to decide how you feel about your body.
And if we want to change the conversation around body image, we need to advocate for every single body – including those that look or function differently from our own. It’s time to stop criticising the way we look, and celebrate all our glorious differences!
