There’s nothing more fashionable than confidence in yourself!

Billu is one independent kid. He loves doing things himself, especially getting dressed in the morning. At school, his friends affectionately call him Billu Buttons, because his buttons are never quite lined up right, the left corner of his shirt would never stay tucked in, and his shoelaces were always coming undone. On his birthday, when his friends try to surprise Billu by celebrating his signature style, he surprises—and inspires—them in return.

Featuring a confident Sikh boy, this inspiring picture book celebrates the power of positive thinking and self-acceptance at every stage of one’s growth.

All pre-ordered copies will receive a magnetic book clip made with love by a kid-owned and operated small business! (limited quantities available)

Community Reviews

"I could see using this book in a kindergarten classroom at the start of the year when talking about goal setting (especially shoe tying). I hope you are able to read this book soon. It is a delight!" --Ms. Larkin, 2nd Grade Teacher, @mslarkins_bookshelf
