Sometimes, All I Need Is Me — Juliana Perdomo

“Perdomo's heartwarming artwork makes this simple story sing with its childlike style and charm. . . . This winning combination will give children the confidence to tap into the power they hold within themselves.” -- Booklist (starred review) I love listening to music, especially samba! It feels like my heart follows the beat. Meet a young girl who loves her cozy home. It smells like cinnamon tea and feels like warm pajamas. But even when she's away from home, and everything is different, she finds a way to become her own home, where she feels calm. At night, when it's too dark and her feet are cold, her room can be a little scary. But she creates her own light when she closes her eyes and thinks of the sun. With friendliness and charm, author-illustrator Juliana Perdomo shows young readers how to find comfort and confidence within. Her heartwarming picture book reassures children that sometimes, everything we need -- courage, joy, peace, and love -- is already inside us.
