About It's Me
Product Description It’s Me is dedicated to every person who has ever felt less about who they are or want to be because of someone else’s opinion, feelings, or prejudice. Let's ditch the prejudiced labeling, and embrace our Human Race for the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and individuality we all deserve. Review "Jeff Kubiak has written a magnificent book that demonstrates the truth of different cultures and why it is okay to trust those who may be different. I can see It's Me becoming a quick bestseller." Readers' Favorite It's Me by Jeff Kubiak is a touching OwnVoices peek into children's everyday lives and the candid way in which they speak about how they like to relate to their peers. The message of these stories is clear; everyone deserves to be seen for who they are as people, not labels. Readers' Favorite From the Author Thank you for choosing to read It's Me. The vignettes in this book are real stories, written by students, teachers, and educators. Some of the names have been changed or kept anonymous.It's not easy to "see people" for who they are, let alone embrace them. But now, more than ever, we need to allow ourselves and others the opportunity to not only see, but to "be seen," and truly welcome differing views, cultures, and characteristics. Currently, our Mental Health Services are depleted, teen suicide rates are skyrocketing, depression and drug use are increasing, and schools seem to be coming up short with support systems and resources, due to financial strains. Many times, students with the most critical needs are being overlooked and underserved.The time to change is now. When empathy, understanding, and compassion become an intentional part of our purpose, we are more able to accept, embrace, and celebrate the uniqueness of all.Taking the time to learn each other's stories and to be more informed will allow our compassion and enlightenment to grow. When this happens, we find common ground. Communication does not equal agreement, but it CAN equal compassion, understanding, and acceptance. Jeff Kubiak From the Inside Flap ForewordEvery human on the planet--at sometime or another--questions their worth or sense of belonging. This is especially true for children and adolescents. Growing up, I thought there was something inherently wrong with me because I struggled to keep myself organized, remember where I put things, manage my time, and focus on what was important rather than just what was interesting. When I knew that there was a name for what I was experiencing and that I wasn't alone, I felt a tremendous amount of relief and empowered to focus on leveraging my strengths over constantly focusing on how I was different from my peers. I wish I'd had Jeff's book back then. I bet all my classmates would have benefited from it too. It's Me is a reminder that the one thing that we all have in common--that truly brings us together--is that we are all individuals ... worthy and remarkable in our own ways because of our uniqueness, not in spite of it.Amy Fast Ed.D.Educator, Author, and Education Commentator From the Back Cover It's Me brings in many relevant and timely elements to our global synchronicity. Ditching labels, and using the power of "seeing" others will only empower us to further embrace and understand our differences, and not have them "define" us. We need to speak, listen, and build upon our inclusivity, as our time is critical now.The parallels with this book's message to the corporate and business world are monumental. How we treat each other, oftentimes leads to future connections and collaborations, but when misinterpreted, can lead to disaster and mistrust with a ripple effect steamrolling through an organization invoking a toxic workplace culture. Kudos to you Jeff as this book truly mirrors the global need to start shining the spotlight on what people bring and what makes them unique and beautiful versus crushing what makes them so fabulous! -Holly Dowling, Award Win
