Angelica the Great I Am

About the Book

I am pleased to introduce Angelica the Great I Am, an early reader book. It will inspire and introduce careers to elementary school readers, particularly those who are minority and come from low-income and first-generation families. In Angelica the Great I Am, a young girl magically discovers through her dreams her real purpose for living. So often children get lost within the information age where so much is absorbed. It often becomes difficult to find oneself, and it subsequently manifests into adulthood. At what magical point in time do children first learn to just appreciate who they are and later learn more about themselves and how their uniqueness contributes to the world? I envision this book to help children love themselves, to help children tap into their individual gifts and talents early in life, and to help children experimentally examine careers that will spark their fullest potential.

About the Author

I have worked in higher education for over sixteen years and have worked with many college students, who were often uncertain about themselves and about their future. I want to see young minds develop a sense of self-appreciation so they can acquire self-awareness. It is my sincere quest to inspire young minds and to help them shape their future. I see too many students later in life lacking purpose and vision. I am a strong advocate for learning from the inside out. Educational and work experiences have confirmed the purpose of my existence—to inspire students that they can achieve their greatness. Working with economically and educationally disadvantaged students in and out of the classroom has taught me about the needs of students that come from all backgrounds. Children need adequate support and guidance to help them reach their fullest potential. It is my hope that children commit themselves to greatness.
