Meet Amelie, a girl who doesn’t want to be who she is. As she ventures out on a walk one day, she comes across a tree, a flea, the sea, a pea and finally a bee - all simply being who they are. One by one, Amelie majestically attempts to become each character, but soon discovers how exhausting and painful it is trying to be anything other than yourself.

Full of enchanting illustrations and relatable characters, I Don’t Want to be Me:

- supports emotional wellbeing through a greater sense of self-worth and self acceptance

- helps children to discover alongside Amelie, that being yourself is enough

- ends with a mindful reflection to help children explore and be with their feelings.

This book is essential reading for teachers, parents, and anyone who wishes to help children feel heard, seen and accepted, just as they are.
