Come see Emily Peace Harrison, author of the children's picture book I'd Rather Be Me. Hank the pup is happy just being himself, except for one little problem- a tiny flea buzzing in his ear, telling him that he's not good enough. Will the flea convince Hank to be someone he's not, or will he stay true to himself? The message is a heartwarming reminder to embrace and celebrate one's uniqueness with confidence. Harrison worked in higher education administration for nearly 20 years. She is the mother of two grown sons and currently resides in Glen Allen, Virginia.
