Hi. I'm Savannah! I am the author of this book. I wrote this book because I want kids to believe in themselves. You don't have to be the same as someone else to fit in. You have your own personality. If people don't like you, it is because they don't understand your life and what you are going through. Don't let that make you sad. Eventually, they will begin to see who you really are. So remember, be yourself. Be unique.
