The Mirror in My Pocket

Author: Suras Castelbranco

First Edition

In this tender and empowering children's book, young readers follow Jasper-a thoughtful boy who discovers a magical pocket mirror that helps him see his true worth. Through twelve beautifully illustrated chapters, Jasper navigates moments of self-doubt, teasing, and exclusion, learning to embrace his name, his quirks, and his voice.

Each chapter reflects a slice of everyday childhood-picture day nerves, talent show tumbles, feeling too loud or not enough-and gently expands into lessons on identity, self-esteem, and inner strength. With a lyrical yet accessible tone, The Mirror in My Pocket invites children aged 5-10 to celebrate who they are and discover that confidence doesn't come from fitting in-it comes from within.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussion, or quiet reflection, this story is a heartfelt companion for any child learning to love the person in the mirror.
