A new children’s book, “A Kid’s Book About Purpose,” was released today. The book draws upon the author’s personal experiences, including navigating life as an 8-year-classic immigrant and a later experience in Honduras where she was recognized for her presence rather than achievements.
Finding Purpose Through Experience
The author’s understanding of purpose evolved after a near-fatal experience giving birth to her daughter, prompting reflection on what truly matters. She learned that purpose isn’t solely defined by accomplishments, but by the person one becomes throughout life’s journey.
The author believes children don’t need to have a fully formed understanding of their purpose, but rather the space to grow, experiment, and recognize the potential within themselves. The book aims to initiate meaningful conversations between adults and children.
Collaboration and Gratitude
The author expressed gratitude to her husband, Jason, to Jelani Memory, and to the team at A Kids Book About for their contributions to the book’s creation.
The book is currently available at https://lnkd.in/gC3wx8zr.
