Sam Says You Are Born to Shine

Sam Says: You Are Born to Shine is a fun and entertaining tale by Sam Hirschmann. I instantly could see Sam in myself. I love how she wanted to be herself no matter what others thought of her. She continued to do so until she was accepted. It was great seeing how they, too, wanted to shine and embraced themselves. I thought this was an inspiring tale. I can see so many kids feel self conscious when going to school and worry about what others think. Sam shows it is okay to let loose to be yourself. Sam Says: You Are Born to Shine is creatively illustrated by the talented artist, Amelina Jones. The artwork beautifully illustrates how Sam's differences are truly a way for her shine over the others. The colors are eye catching for the youngest of readers and helpful to keep engaged. I believe the pictures are a perfect addition to the book. Five stars is what Sam Says: You Are Born to Shine deserves. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of four and eight. I believe the book would make a wonderful placement in elementary classroom shelves, as well as, public children's libraries. I would love to see what other books that author Sam Hirschmann will be releasing in the future to inspire his younger fans. I received a hard cover copy of Sam Hirscmann's Sam Says: You Are Born to Shine from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
