Becoming Vanessa is a picture book that follows a young girl named Vanessa on her first day of school. She’s excited but also concerned about making friends. Vanessa tries to stand out with a bright outfit and accessories, but she feels uncomfortable when the attention isn’t what she expected. She subsequently chooses a more subdued look, even worries that her name is “too long” and that it’s hard for others to write. Through conversation with her mother (who shares the meaning behind Vanessa’s name) Vanessa gains confidence and learns it’s best to be herself — embracing her uniqueness.
The story draws on themes of identity, self-acceptance, self-esteem, and the anxiety or uncertainty around fitting in, especially for children entering or returning to school.
