With a sensibility that recalls her beloved screen characters, including Yvette, Queenie, Shug, and the iconic Cookie from Empire, yet is all Taraji, the screen actress writes of her families - the one she was born into and the one she created. She shares stories of her father, a Vietnam vet who was bowed but never broken by life's challenges, and of her mother, who survived violence both in the home and on DC's volatile streets. Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother.

A debut picture book from award-winning actress and mental-health advocate Taraji P. Henson that speaks to children’s anxieties around trying to figure out their place in this world and celebrates making friends by being yourself.
