A 7 és 11 év közötti gyermekek nagy változásokon és fejlődésen mennek keresztül az elme, a test, a tanulás és a társadalmi kapcsolatok területén - mindezek hatással lehetnek a kialakulóban lévő önértékelésükre. Várnak rájuk az első vizsgák, szorosbarátságokat kötnek, és azzal is ahogy egyre jobban megismerik testüket elkezdik magukat másokkal összehasonlítani. Teljesen érthető, hogy néhány gyermeknek ebben az időszakban segítségre van szüksége az egészséges önbizalom megőrzéséhez. Poppy O'NeillLégy önmagad! című könyve megadja ezt az oly szükséges útmutatót, amely segítséget nyújt a gyermekeknek. Tele van szórakoztató feladatokkal, amelyeket akár egyedül saját tempójukban, vagy a szülők segítségével oldhatnak meg, dolgozhatnak fel. A kisolvasót egy barátságos szellem (szörnyecske) kíséri végig a könyvön.A könyvben szereplő szövegek és gyakorlatok fejlesztik a gyermekekben önmaguk és mások megértését. A feladatok célja, hogy a gyerekek elgondolkodjanak arról, hogyan észlelik önmagukat és a körülöttük lévő világot, hogy támogassák a kreativitásukat éspozitívan emeljék ki egyediségüket. A gyerekek megtudják belőle, hogy milyen gondolatok és hiedelmek tartják vissza őket, de mindenekelőtt megtanulják tiszteletben tartani és becsülni saját és más emberek egyediségét. Ha sikerül megváltoztatninézőpontjukat, szemléletüket, magabiztosabbnak és jobban felkészültnek érzik majd magukat a mindennapi életben.

Ha úgy keresünk valamit, hogy átkutatjuk érte minden holminkat, azt mondjuk: tűvé tesszük érte a lakást. Ha egész városrészeket bejárt valaki, mondhatjuk rá: nyakába vette a várost. Amire nagyon kíváncsiak vagyunk, az fúrja az oldalunkat
