Molefe says the book is a collection of affirmations aimed at sparking self-discovery and resilience among children.

In a recent interview with Arts&Culture, Molefe shared that her own struggles with insecurities as a child were the inspiration behind the book.

Having served as Miss Botswana, Molefe says her beauty with a purpose project focused on mental health for children, which ultimately influenced the themes and messages within her book "and promoting self-confidence and resilience in children is essential for their overall well-being," said Molefe.
