An accessible child-centred story about self-acceptance and the importance of opening up to those closest to you.
Becky and Josh are almost-twins, with two mums and the same anonymous donor dad.
Josh can't wait until he's eighteen, the legal age when he can finally contact his donor, and he'll do anything to find out more - even if it involves lying.
Becky can't stop thinking about her new friend, Carli. Could her feelings for Carli be a sign of something more?
Becky and Josh both want their parents to be proud of them...but right now, they're struggling to even accept themselves.

A fantastic book - I absolutely loved it!
Proud of Me glows with the importance of openness, honesty and support from friends and family, which is an excellent message for children to take away.
This beautifully written middle grade book is perfect for children who are just starting secondary school, when friendships and relationships with parents can change and feel a bit more complicated.
A warm and sensitive story about the importance of finding yourself, and the joy, strength and understanding you can get from finding others.
