I Am the Chosen One: I Am a Light the Night Remembers

By Mona Liza Santos

A poetic and empowering story for every child who has ever felt different, unseen, or out of place.

I Am the Chosen One: I Am a Light the Night Remembers is a gentle, heartfelt picture book that reminds children that being different is not something to hide-it is something to honor. Through soothing rhymes and dreamlike imagery, the story follows a child who senses the world more deeply than others and slowly begins to understand that their uniqueness is a quiet kind of strength.

This story speaks to children who are imaginative, sensitive, reflective, or often misunderstood. It offers reassurance that feeling different does not mean they are alone, and that the qualities that set them apart are the very things that give them purpose and light.

Perfect for ages 5-9, this book encourages children to embrace who they are, even when they don't fit in. It opens the door to meaningful conversations about identity, inner strength, and self-acceptance, providing comfort not only to children but also to the parents, caregivers, and educators who support them.

Ideal for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or quiet moments of connection, I Am the Chosen One is a story that helps children feel seen, valued, and proud of the light they carry.

Because some children are not meant to blend in-they are meant to shine.
