From the Bookshelves: Believe in Yourself by Trisha Rao

Nine-year-old Trisha Rao was horrified when she first heard about the atrocities taking place in Syria and the impact its civil war was having on millions of children, so she decided to do something about it. She thought the best way to help would be to send a message of hope to them in the form of a children’s book. Believe in Yourself has received high praise from reviewers and earned Rao a 2016 gold medal from the Independent Publishers (IPPY) Book Awards. Meet a very special little girl who inspires us all to believe in ourselves.
