Reseña del libro "You Are You...I Am Me: Jayden's Special Day (en Inglés)"
Today is a very special day for Jayden. It's his birthday, and he's going to be ten years old. Now, if only everyone would let him be just exactly who he wants to be! You Are You ... I Am Me is the delightful and insightful book for young readers that follows Jayden through his special day, and teaches a few important lessons along the way. It's an entertaining, funny story that is certain to get boys and girls reading-while demonstrating the importance of staying true to yourself, no matter what anyone else says. From the first thing in the morning, Jayden is so excited about his birthday, because turning ten is a very grown up thing to do. He is excited about a lot of other things, too. For example, when the school bus driver, Mr. Peterson, tries to persuade Jayden to be a teacher, he happily exclaims that he wants to be a doctor to help sick kids feel better. Throughout the day, everyone he meets has a different idea about what Jayden wants. At Mr. Brown's Ice Cream Shop, he wants his favorite flavor, the coconutty, purple-peppermint crunch, but Mr. Brown's daughter Molly strongly believes that he should try the cookie caramel assault. Jayden, however, makes his own decision and has the flavor he wants. At the library, Ms. Goldberg, the librarian, isn't so sure Jayden should be a doctor either, and suggests that he may want to repair and restore cars like his uncle. Jayden sticks to his guns, and chooses a book with a doctor on the cover. At the playground, his friend Sammy wants to swing from the monkey bars, but Jayden's game is basketball. With humor and cheer, You Are You ... I Am Me, follows Jayden as he learns to believe in himself and his dreams. And, every time Jayden does what he believes is right for him, he shows boys and girls everywhere to stand up for themselves, and never lose sight of who they really are. With the joyful Jayden and company, this easy-to-read, upbeat story is sure to give young readers a few good laughs-and they may just learn a thing or two along the way!
