“Be Whoo You Are is a charming and thoughtful book that combines lyrical prose, stunning illustrations, and a timeless message. So many inspirational takeaways for children make it a must-read for young readers and a wonderful addition to any classroom or child's library.”

“At its heart, this book is about identity, courage, and kindness. It shows children that they don’t need to be anyone else and that they already have what they need to shine. And honestly? That’s a lesson most of us still need to hear even as adults. Be WHOO You Are by Kathleen Welton is one of a kind—gentle, warm, and hopeful and it is a must-read story that reminds us all, young or old, that being yourself is more than enough.”

“Original, charming, a fun read with an important message for children ages 4-6, Be WHOO You Are by author/storyteller Kathleen Welton and artist/illustrator Nuno Alexandre Vieira is a thoroughly 'kid friendly' and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community/public library picture book collections.”

“Be Whoo You Are is a children’s book that will delight readers young and old. The characters are fun to get to know, and the storyline teaches children a few lessons throughout the pages while they also get to stop and admire the warm and inviting illustrations that were provided in full-paged format.”

“A sweet and heart-warming picture book, about a little owl and his journey to find his purpose."

“Ollie is shown as an adventurous little soul who doesn’t hesitate to help his friends, which is a very nice way to be. The messages of being comfortable with who you are and of overcoming one's fears to help someone else makes this work an inspiring read."
