Shine is a touching and heart-warming journey
through a child's worries and insecurities about being different.

  When Kai is bullied for being too tall and having a unique scar
  under his eye, he begins to wish he was the same as everybody else.



  With the help of his parents, can Kai learn that the things that
  make him different are the things that make him special, and let
  his own light shine through?


  And will he be able to help his friends, when they share similar
  worries of their own to him?





  With mindfulness activities for families to
  do together to build confidence and combat feelings of unworthiness.


  Beautifully illustrated, the book deals with issues of bullying,
  low self-esteem and forgiveness.

  Can be shared with younger children or read independently.







  Sarah Asuquo wrote and self-published Shine in the middle
  of the pandemic, and it garnered a massive response in the number
  of sales, on social media, and was even even taken into 40
  primary schools across the UK to be included in the curriculum and
  libraries.


  Now, with the help of Scholastic, this inspiring book is set to
  help thousands more families struggling with anxious children.
