I Am (Hardcover)

I Am is a beautifully illustrated children’s book inspired by the poem Virgin Island Child by Larry Sewer, offering a powerful message of identity, self-worth, and belonging.

Set across the vibrant islands of the U.S. Virgin Islands, I Am follows a group of children as they journey through St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John, and Water Island—discovering the beauty, culture, and hidden treasures that connect them all. Along the way, they learn that these islands are more than places—they are a connected home. Their journey culminates in a meaningful reveal, where the five jewels reflect the colors and cultural pride of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Blending lyrical storytelling with affirmation-based themes, I Am supports early childhood development in confidence, cultural awareness, and emotional learning. Ideal for ages 3–9, this book is perfect for classrooms, libraries, gift shops, and families seeking diverse, empowering stories.

At its heart, I Am reminds every reader that they are a jewel—meant to be nurtured, valued, and to shine wherever they are.
