Sometimes we are met with overwhelming challenges that knock us off our feet-but Lizzie has] been able to embody the power of hope and compassion in everything she does]. --Michelle ObamaBorn with a rare genetic condition, Lizzie Velasquez always knew she was different, but it wasn't until she was older that she understood what that meant to herself and others. In this daring, inspirational book, Lizzie reveals the hidden forces that give rise to self-doubt and empowers us to unlock empathy and kindness for ourselves and others. Through her own battles with anxiety and depression she demonstrates how we can overcome obstacles and move forward with greater positivity and hope.
