Beschreibung

Meet Jayden's friend, Zora! Jayden, Chad, and Zora are the best of friends. Zora is the perfect balance for this dynamic trio! But when Zora proudly proclaims to her friends that her hair is her crown, Jayden and Chad are confused. They are even more confused by Zora's response to their confusion. Jayden's Dad tries to explain it all to him, but it is the dream he had that night that made it all clear for him! And Jayden happily agrees with his friend Zora...her hair is her crown! Jayden & Zora's Crown is the second book in the I Am Me Series. It is a story of self love, empathy, and friendship. This book is the perfect companion to "I Am Me", which introduced Jayden and his best friend Chad. Zora is a bold, lively, gutsy little girl who has been taught the importance of loving and accepting herself. She is a pretty normal young lady yet her energy is infectious! Jayden and Chad look to their parents and a dream to help them understand Zora's bold declaration. They were able to empathize with her and see the world and her hair through her eyes. Finally, Jayden, Zora, and Chad learn the importance of accepting and celebrating each other in their friendship. In the end, they all agree...Zora's hair is indeed her crown and a beautiful crown it is! Your young readers will connect with Jayden and his friends while reading this delightful new story. It will keep them engaged with every turn of each page as they eagerly anticipate how the story will end. Much like I Am Me, this is a story that boys and girls alike will connect to and will want to read over and over again.
