Reviews:

Sharen S. Peters' simple yet poignant poetry and Amanda Alter's vibrantly colored illustrations create a memorable story of lasting impact. I'm Just a Little Someone is a book that teachers of young children can read to their students to help them learn to embrace their feelings and understand the value of friendship. 
~~Catherine Day, Preschool Teacher, St. Joseph’s School

This is a lovely, hope inspiring book.  It is clearly intended for children who think of themselves as alone and friendless. The text and gorgeously inviting illustrations teach children that they can reach out and form emotional connections by taking some initiative.
~~Daniel E. Bendor, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor,  Department of Psychiatry,
Yale School of Medicine

With its simple, charming verses and illustrations, and a theme all
children can relate to, "I'm Just A Little Someone" will quickly become a
favorite of the pre-school set."

~~Malka Penn, author of "The Miracle of the
Potato Latkes"
