Described by readers as "touching", "heartwarming", and "powerful", Little Brown Girl follows a girl's life as she's made to feel like an outsider because her name, her food, and her skin color are "different."
In what is certain to be an instant classic, Behnush Mortimer shares her story as the kid at school who's not like everyone else. In an easy-to-read and instantly relatable story, the reader will watch as Behnush transitions from outsider to being someone everyone wants to know.
And we'll all learn with her the most important lesson that has made her into a tough, smart business professional who is very secure today in who she is. Because every kid deserves to dream big, and to know they should be proud of who they are.
Says Behnush: "Even when people make fun of you, their opinions don't matter. What IS important is a belief in yourself!"
So don't worry about being different. Your individuality is your strength, and THAT is what will make you successful!
