About the Book

"Could Never Be Me!" is raw, real, and ridiculously relatable—a laugh-out-loud, tear-just-might-drop kind of story for any kid who’s ever felt like the odd one out, the broken one, or just plain tired of pretending to be okay. Meet Elias—a sharp-witted, painfully honest, and secretly soft Gen Z boy navigating schoolyard drama, fake friendships, and that weird ache in his chest that no football game or new pair of trainers can fix. His dad’s been gone so long, Elias wonders if he was ever really there. His mum's is, quite frankly, the G.O.A.T. This pocket-sized powerhouse of a book is part story, part affirmation, and part healing hug disguised as pages. With a bold voice and brutal honesty, it peels back the layers of rejection, self-doubt, and comparison—but it does it with humour so slick, you’ll forget you’re healing. Perfect for boys (and girls!) who are growing up with big questions, deeper feelings, and the silent kind of pain that doesn’t show up in X-rays. There’s a spiritual thread running through the pages—gentle, never pushy—that points toward something greater. Hope. Belonging. Identity. Inside You’ll Find:  through Elias’s eyes : fatherlessness, fake friends, pressure, self-image  that empower kids to say,   to help kids believe healing is possible A vibe that’s  This is a coming of age book - powerful for anyone navigating identity, healing, and the messy parts of growing up. Parents will love its uplifting heart. Kids will love that it doesn’t talk down to them. Teachers, mentors, and youth workers? This book’s a must-have on the shelf.

Review :
"Fat Ted to the rescue! Dude couldn't run away so gave up and got caught! Nuts!" Ezra, Age 10 "I stopped to think so many times! Is this story true because it feels like it could be? I was hooked, no lie!" Elano, Age 13 "I genuinely laughed so many times reading this. As a mum, this book helped me peep into my child's world. My heart broke and smiled at the same time. Such liberation for children. Exceptionally executed" Lynn, mum of 3. "No way, did he really kick a pigeon? That's terrible, and so funny, but still so terrible. What is wrong with this guy, hilarious!!!!" Matt, Age 11 "Boys really need to chill out a bit. Why are they always doing ridiculous things. I was tired just from reading the crazy behaviour. So funny" Ta, Age Oldish "The 'African Mum' reference got me interested! 'We don't play with demons here'... lol" African mum of 2 This was LOL type funny!" Pat, Mum of 1
