Claire Grosslove is good at a lot of things, drawing, writing stories, and building volcanoes that actually erupt in science class. But there's one thing she's "really" good at: pushing away every compliment she receives.
When Claire discovers an old, dusty compact mirror that belonged to her great-grandmother, she decides to restore it. As she gently polishes away years of tarnish and scratches, something unexpected begins to happen. With every wipe, Claire starts to see herself a little more clearly... and the kind words from her teacher, her best friend Lily, and her family become harder to ignore. But believing she is worthy of those words is the hardest thing of all. Tender, hopeful, and deeply moving, "The Mirror That Saw Me" is a story about learning to quiet the voice of doubt, embrace your own light, and see the beauty that was always there. Perfect for anyone who has ever struggled to believe they are enough. "Sometimes the most important reflection is the one you learn to trust."
