Discover the joy of being your true self in this uplifting and empowering picture book.

​Benny may look like a bat, but Benny doesn't like flying at night or eating bugs or hanging upside down. Benny does ​like sunshine and fluttering and colorful wings. On the inside, Benny knows he is a butterfly!
       "I want by outside to match who I am inside!" With the help of some butterfly friends in the garden, Benny makes a happy change. And his friends and his momma all love him just the same.
​       Benny's True Colors is a transformative story about knowing your true self and the joy of letting the world know you, too.

NORENE PAULSON - Author
I love words. As a former middle school language arts teacher, I spent almost twenty years sharing that love with middle school students in a rural Iowa school district. As a children's PB author, I continue to share my love of words with young readers. My children's magazine articles have appeared in Highlights for Children, Child Life, and Live Wire, and my debut picture book, BENNY’S TRUE COLORS, is scheduled for release in 2020.
