Once upon a time, in the Land of Wind and Song, lived a girl named Lily — pure, bright, and strong.
So begins Magical Me, a luminous, musical picture book about courage, family, and finding the melody that lives inside us all.
Lily’s world is filled with laughter, love, and curiosity, yet sometimes she feels different from everyone around her. Her sister’s eyes are blue, her brother’s hair is copper-red, and Lily’s own reflection tells a story she doesn’t yet understand. When her mother lovingly explains that Lily was adopted — “a gift unlike any other” — the young girl sets out on a wondrous journey through nature to discover what makes her truly her.
Guided by a clever fox, a wise rabbit, and two soulful ravens, Lily learns that the things that set her apart are exactly what make her shine. Every creature she meets helps her hear a little more of her own song — a song of love, courage, and belonging that glows brighter with every verse.
When darkness falls, the wind itself carries Lily safely home, where she learns that family isn’t defined by how we begin but by how deeply we are loved.
Told in lyrical rhyme and accompanied by breathtaking watercolor-style illustrations, Magical Me invites readers to listen with their hearts and celebrate every child’s unique story. Hidden within the pages is Nugget the Squirrel, Lily’s mischievous friend, and special QR codes that unlock original songs from the Magical Me soundtrack — music that brings the forest to life and turns reading into an immersive experience.
Perfect for children ages 5–10 and for families touched by adoption, Magical Me is a timeless tale that reminds us that the most magical song we’ll ever hear is the one that already lives inside us.
