Description

Dear Universe, It’s Me, Nia is a gentle, illustrated children’s story about growing up, trusting yourself, and learning to listen to the quiet voice inside.

Nia is ten years old and feels different from the kids around her. School is hard, friendships are changing, and her body doesn’t feel quite right anymore. When her questions start to feel too big to hold on her own, Nia begins writing letters to the Universe—hoping it might have the answers she’s missing.

What she discovers instead is something far more powerful.

Through everyday moments, quiet courage, and small acts of kindness, Nia learns that the guidance she’s been searching for has been with her all along. As she starts to trust her inner voice, she finds confidence, belonging, and the courage to be herself—just as she is.

Written for ages 8–11, Dear Universe, It’s Me, Nia supports social-emotional learning and self-awareness in a warm, accessible way. This story is perfect for children who are sensitive, thoughtful, or navigating change—and for the adults who want to help them grow with compassion and confidence.

Includes illustrated chapters and interactive reflection pages inviting readers to write their own letters and stories.

A comforting, empowering book for quiet kids, big feelers, and anyone learning to trust themselves.
