The Story Of You is a colorful and educational picture book for young children. The book focuses on teaching children about their surroundings in different ways, from taking a moment to look around and appreciate nature and what it does for us as humans, to learning to love and accept themselves, no matter how different they feel in comparison to others. It's a simple way of explaining the importance of their inner selves and how to keep it as happy as possible. The focus of who you are on the inside and becoming comfortable in your own skin is a message that is vital to instill in children as early as possible.

Though short, it is jam-packed with feel-good content, and children will both love and learn from it.

Among the lessons is a crucial one about how to know when they are safe. It's important for them to realize that they have a built-in "sensor" that helps them to recognize danger, whether it's a situation or a person. Their body reacts with heightened awareness, accompanied by a tingly or creepy feeling. Additionally, the author brings in the idea of a "Sky Self" to explain to children how they have an "inner self" protecting them in all kinds of situations.

Another thing they learn is that thoughts are not real. This may come as a welcome surprise to them, knowing that, whatever thoughts they are conjuring up in their heads, they are just thoughts, nothing else.

The illustrations are simple and creative, which will surely attract the attention of the young reader. The drawings were done by a 3rd grade class of students at Lafayette Elementary School in Long Beach, California. The author had read a text-only copy to the students (they also had a copy at their desks) at a career day, and afterwards, the students complained: "Where's the pictures?" He told them they could draw pictures for it. They did just that, turning in their drawings weeks later.

This book will be highly beneficial to any child. It will fill parents with confidence knowing their child is prepared for the future and learning to appreciate the environment.

To sum up, The Story of You tells young reader that not only do they live in a marvelous world with brilliant things like dogs and cats and trees, but they're also wonderful and beautiful in their own right with a "sky self" invisible but always there to look out for them.
