You are the One | Book launch

An exhibition of original book illustrations by Di Gee.

You Are the One is a heartfelt children’s book inspired by the Di Gee Dreaming Song, crafted to nurture empathy, unity, and kindness in young readers. Through gentle storytelling and vibrant illustrations, it encourages children to stand up against bullying, celebrate diversity, and embrace compassion in their daily lives.

Unlike traditional songbooks, this interactive experience invites children to first explore the story alongside their parents or caregivers. A QR code at the end of the book provides access to a digital version of the song, allowing families to listen and sing along together, reinforcing the book’s messages through music.

Designed primarily for primary-aged children, the book’s narrative fosters discussions about kindness and racial unity. For younger audiences, such as toddlers and preschoolers, parents can focus on reading the song lyrics aloud before enjoying the accompanying digital song, making it adaptable for various age groups.

You Are the One is more than just a book—it’s a tool for families and educators to inspire meaningful conversations and promote a culture of empathy and inclusivity among children.
