"This is Me" is the title of a new children's book which came out Tuesday Sept 20th written and illustrated by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. Actress and writer Jamie Lee Curtis spoke to an audience consisting of media, parents and young children in New York City on Monday Sept 19th to talk about her latest project and share the journey that took her on the road to writing this story which tells the tale of what children from various ethnic backgrounds might pack in a suitcase with them if they were to travel to a new land. Speaking from her own heart she added that while her Golden Globes do not mean much to her and she does not know where she has put them, the treasured moments from her childhood she can always find. "This is Me" has a child imagine that they were essentially taking the historic path of their immigrant relatives who had come to the United States many years before on a voyage from a foreign destination. What might the child pack in their suitcase? It allows the child reader to think about small items that have plenty of meaning in their life that they would want to take along while it forces them to think about what they would leave behind. Beautifully illustrated, the book has a small pop-up feature that includes a suitcase at the end that a child can actually fit a few precious items into to gain the full effect of the story. Well worth sharing, purchase this book and enjoy an afternoon with a special young person in your life. To purchase visit: https://www.amazon.com/This-Me-Story-Where-Came/dp/0761180117 |
