Pearl M Mashour: Just as I am, Gebunden

Klappentext

What if the parts of you that feel different are actually your greatest strengths?

When Aftab's family leaves Iran during the revolution, her world is turned upside down. In a new country, everything feels unfamiliar; her name is hard to pronounce, her food is laughed at, and she struggles to find where she belongs. Caught between two cultures, she begins to hide parts of herself just to fit in.

Years later, her grandfather reminds her of a powerful truth: roots matter. Like an oak tree, Aftab's identity is strong and beautiful. She doesn't have to choose between being Persian or American she can honor both.

Just As I Am: Two Worlds, One Journey is a heartfelt and empowering picture book that explores identity, belonging, and the courage to embrace who you are. Inspired by real experiences, this story helps children:

• Celebrate their cultural roots

• Build confidence and self-worth

• See their differences as something to be proud of

A meaningful read for children ages 7-11, families, and classrooms, this book opens the door to important conversations about identity, acceptance, and self-love.
