The Children’s Rhyme-Book Releasing Dec 7 Packs a Powerful Message of Self-Expression, Creativity, Friendship, Inclusion, and Self-Esteem
Nashville, TN (PRUnderground) December 6th, 2021
There’s something so awe-inspiring about a child that marches to the beat of their own drum, blissfully unbothered by the expectations and ideals of the world around them. Most of us can think back to a time when we were like that. Unfortunately for many, that spark begins to fade due to peer pressure, anxieties, and self-esteem issues over the years. One children’s author, however, is on a mission to ignite that blissful authenticity and unabashed self-expression in her new book Little Miss Mismatched, releasing on Amazon come December 7th, 2021.
Ashley Ballai watched her two-year-old daughter Bella with nothing but adoration as she dressed herself in wonderfully mismatched clothes that showed her vivacious personality with every clash of color, sparkle, ribbon. Inspired by her strong-willed personality to march to the beat of her own drum without any thought as to what others think, Ashley wrote Little Miss Mismatched as an anthem for young children embracing their authentic selves.
Little Miss Mismatched is a story about a little girl who, despite criticism from her friends for dressing in mismatched clothes, continues to be her authentic self and express herself through her attire. In doing so, she inspires her friends to follow suit and become expressive in their own ways. This powerful rhyme-book, suitable for children of all ages, teaches the invaluable lessons of authenticity, self-expression, creativity, inclusion, friendship, and kindness in a typically challenging world.
“In this age of social media and how much pressure it puts on kids, this is a much-needed reminder to be a leader and not fall into conforming. It’s a reminder to love yourself, to celebrate differences and individuality.”
Through proof of concept, dedication to creative expression, and unwavering commitment to inspiring children to embrace every ounce of their authenticity with unabashed grace; Ashley Ballai’s purpose-driven vision has come to fruition with the release of Little Miss Mismatched come Dec 7.
