"My child (aged 6) enjoyed it very much."
"Good messaging, strong storytelling, a little humor and helped along by FAB illustrations." (Primary school teacher)
"A sweetly written picturebook, strongly illustrated, and with a wonderful 'self- acceptance' message. A BRONZE MEDAL WINNER and highly recommended!"
Brotherly Love
These sweet boys are brothers and best friends. Their mom sent me pictures of the older reading to his younger brother, and a video where she asks them their favorite part of this book. One said it was when the little boy gave Mac to the teacher and the other brother said it was "when he noticed he was beautiful just the way he was".
Warms my heart!!
Keep Reading!!
"My daughter bought a copy of I Will Be... and her son loves it. He carries it around with him. These two pics ... one is of them reading it, and the second is him yelling at her to read instead of taking a picture!"

ShoutOut to HILLTOP ORCHARDS Richmond.MA
This most adorably illustrated book sends a wonderful heartfelt message to children – you are enough – don’t be afraid to just be yourself! A great gift for any child you love!
A positive lesson in self love for all ages! I purchased for myself and passed along to my adult children. A heartwarming ending and feel good book. EnJOY
I purchased 3 copies of this well written and beautifully illustrated book one for our new grandson, two for friends who have grand babies in their lives. The message resonates for all ages! Be proud of who you are always!

A sweet and silly story with a big heart! Mac’s journey of self-discovery is both hilarious and heartwarming, teaching kids (and adults!) the joy of being yourself. The colorful illustrations and fun antics make this a repeat read. Highly recommend!

In I Will Be, Mac the apple’s comedic journey to explore different fruits not only entertains with its delightful humor but also imparts a powerful message of self-acceptance, making it a must-read for young children. Was a huge hit in our house both for the kids and parents alike!

A lesson in self-acceptance

Self-acceptance is one of the most difficult aspects of growth for a child to learn. Trying on different guises, feeling inadequate, measuring yourself against others...
Here, an apple may help your child navigate these difficult waters.
