Overview

I Am the Rose is a story about a quiet boy who finds hope and strength in an unexpected place: a single rose blooming through concrete. With the loving guidance of his grandmother, he learns that resilience is not about perfect conditions, but about believing in yourself even when life feels hard. This book helps children understand that their struggles do not define them and that they carry strength within. Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, and therapeutic spaces, it includes a child-friendly glossary, reflection questions, and simple activities that spark meaningful conversations about resilience, hope, and self-worth. This is a book for any child who has ever felt small, overwhelmed, or unseen, and for every caregiver who wants to help them bloom anyway. Because no matter the cracks beneath your feet, you were always meant to rise.
