About the Book:

Bullying is a reality for so many kids, especially when they have a talent that makes them stand out. Maybe your daughter or son is dealing with a similar situation. How can a young person find the courage to be who they are despite challenges peers place on them to conform?

Kiara is a girl who wants to make it big--as an opera singer--but not everyone thinks she is able to do it. In fact, some think she is wasting her time on a boring pursuit. Will she muster enough courage and confidence to try her best and reach her goal? How does she handle the bullies and the doubters? Who inspires her?

About the Author:

As an author and educator, I have one of the best careers on the planet! Loving kids and helping them see the treasures found in their imagination is the foundation of what I do. Although, I began writing stories in middle school, my storytelling needed shaping. I needed a formal program to help me hone my craft and earned a BFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. So storytelling has been a part of my life for a long time.
