Vie's first book has truly inspired my kids and me to go on magic adventures together, e.g. to travel to the moon and catch some "dream sand" before they go to sleep. The book is full of love and we are very excited to accompany Emily throughout another story. I also know Vie personally and I admire her for the amazing, life-changing work she does to help kids believe in themselves and to feel happy, self-confident and loved. As a mother and body image researcher, I feel this is beyond value and one of the greatest gifts we can give to our kids! I thus hope Vie's second book will contribute to making many families' lives better and I am happy to support this great cause xx

Vie - Phoebe and I love what you are doing! Good luck with it and we are looking forward to reading all the books.
