Magical New Book Shows Children Why it's Important to be True to Themselves

Wayne, NJ (PRWEB) March 7, 2008 -- Children as young as three will be inspired to be the best they can be after reading the enchantingly illustrated It's best to be "me," written by Salvatore Puglisi and illustrated by David Byrne.

Often children wish they were someone other than whom they are. A shy child might wish for boldness, while a short child yearns to be tall. But appreciating oneself is the key to a happy and healthy life, suggests author Salvatore Puglisi, and he imparts this wise lesson in his delightfully illustrated book, It's best to be "me."

Parents will love the warm, compassionate way the author addresses self-image, but children will adore artist Byrne's dazzling and funny illustrations. Unsatisfied with who they are, a group of animals imagines different identities. A bear daydreams about being a butterfly, a rabbit scrunches into a turtle shell and a dog takes on wings--all with unexpected results. Gradually, the characters discover that they'd rather be themselves, as will countless children after reading this inspiring picture book.

For more information or to request a free review copy, members of the press can contact the author at salpuglisi@earthlink.net or www.itsbesttobeme.com. It's best to be "me" is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
