Bookshop Interview with Author PeTika Have (Episode #087)

8/26/2020

0 Comments

 
In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author PeTika Tave discusses her two children’s picture books, Beautiful As You Are! and Brilliant As You Are! PeTika is a middle school teacher who has seen firsthand the impact that low self-esteem can have on children. She struggled when she was a kid, reaching a height of six feet and weight of 300 lbs by the age of 13. In her twenties, the birth of her two children inspired her to undertake a journey of weight loss and self-discovery. Inspired to set a good example and to teach her daughter strength and self-acceptance, PeTika began to write poetry. Those poems found their way into her first illustrated picture book for kids, Beautiful As You Are! She followed that book up with a second, Brilliant As You Are!, and both books are designed to empower boys and girls to love and accept themselves as enough, exactly as they are. In this episode, PeTika discusses her writing journey, why her biggest learning curve on her journey has been patience, and her daughter’s reaction to seeing her mother as a published author.
