In this episode of The Corelink Solution I interview war veteran and author Erika Archer about her children's book "Allison, You Are Beautiful." We discuss the importance of instilling self-esteem in children and Erica's personal experiences with bullying and self-image. The conversation covers the challenges of writing, finding the right illustrator, and publishing, as well as the book's themes of confidence, courage, and self-acceptance. Erica's story is one of perseverance and the power of embracing one's unique qualities, aiming to empower young readers to find joy in themselves rather than through comparison.
