Today, I am excited to share a new picture book with you all called Jane Escapes to the Jungle of Individuality, which conveys the message of the importance of being a unique individual and practicing self-compassion.

Escaping from an uncomfortable moment on the school bus, Jane has a vivid daydream where she enters the Jungle of Individuality: a place filled with animals who all have unique characteristics, just like herself. As she embarks on an incredible journey of self-discovery with some new friends, she quickly realizes her individuality is something she should embrace while also learning self-compassion and being brave when things get tough.
