Discovering the Magic Within

In The Power of Being You by Joe Crooks, readers are taken on a heartwarming adventure with Harkyn, Ubon, and Payam—three friends who dream of being something they’re not. Through the wisdom of Adornia, the graceful alicorn, they learn an important lesson: true magic comes from embracing who they already are.

Key Themes That Make This Book Special

1. Self-Acceptance

Harkyn, Ubon, and Payam each believe they need to change to be special. But as the story unfolds, they discover that their own strengths—Harkyn’s power, Ubon’s agility, and Payam’s grace—are what truly make them unique.

2. Friendship and Teamwork

The characters learn that by working together, they can accomplish great things. Harkyn’s strength moves the cart, Ubon’s agility gathers apples, and Payam’s wings clear the sky. Their combined efforts highlight the importance of valuing each other’s differences.

3. Embracing One’s Unique Gifts

Adornia helps the trio understand that they don’t need to be someone else to shine. This theme resonates with readers, reminding them that their individuality is their greatest strength.

Conclusion

The Power of Being You is more than a children’s book—it’s an inspiring lesson in self-love, confidence, and teamwork. Whether for a bedtime story or a classroom read, this book encourages kids to embrace their own magic.
