Just Right Being Mia

Mia loves being active. While some girls enjoy dolls, dress-up games, and tea parties, Mia prefers baseball, fishing with her father, climbing trees, and exploring the outdoors. She feels happiest when she's running, practicing her baseball skills, casting a fishing line, or discovering new adventures. When other girls at school notice that Mia enjoys different activities, they think she is strange and sometimes tease her. But Mia stays true to herself, continuing to do the things she loves without trying to fit in. As the girls watch Mia excel on the baseball field, catch fish at the lake, and bravely rescue a kite from a tree, they begin to see her differently. They discover that Mia's interests may be different from theirs, but they are just as valuable and fun. Soon, friendships grow as the girls share their activities with one another, learning that everyone has unique talents and interests. Just Right Being Mia is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates individuality, selfconfidence, and acceptance. Through Mia's story, young readers learn that they do not have to change who they are to be accepted-and that being themselves is exactly right.
