Sometimes, All I Need Is Me

By: Perdomo, Juliana

"Colombian author-illustrator Perdomo's heartwarming artwork makes this simple story sing with its childlike style and charm." --Booklist (starred review)

I love listening to music, especially samba
It feels like my heart follows the beat.

Meet a young girl who loves her cozy home. It smells like cinnamon tea and feels like warm pajamas. But even when she's away from home, and everything is different, she finds a way to become her own home, where she feels calm. At night, when it's too dark and her feet are cold, her room can be a little scary. But she creates her own light when she closes her eyes and thinks of the sun. With friendliness and charm, author-illustrator Juliana Perdomo shows young readers how to find comfort and confidence within. Her heartwarming picture book reassures children that sometimes, everything we need--courage, joy, peace, and love--is already inside us.
