Buy One, Give One

The best thing about you is YOU!

No matter what you’re good at, what you look like, or what you hope to do someday . . . whether you like to read or run or paint or play . . . the best thing about you is that you are uniquely YOU!

Help your children learn early (and often) that being exactly who they are is the greatest gift! Join New York Times bestselling author Annie F. Downs and “Little Annie” as they celebrate every kid’s fun, fabulous, and unique design. With delightful illustrations and an A-to-Z look at character qualities, children (and adults!) will learn how to treasure what makes them special rather than trying to fit into others’ expectations of them.

The positive, empowering message in So Happy to Know You! will help kids accept themselves and show them the joy of accepting others for who they are designed to be.

Meet Annie

Annie F. Downs is a New York Times bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and successful podcast host based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Engaging and honest, she makes readers and listeners alike feel as if they’ve been long-time friends. Founder of the That Sounds Fun Network—which includes her aptly named flagship show, That Sounds Fun—and author of multiple bestselling books including That Sounds Fun, 100 Days to Brave, and Remember God, Annie shoots straight and doesn’t shy away from the tough topics. But she always finds her way back to the truth that God is good and that life is a gift. Host of the miniBFF Book Club in which she reads picture books to kiddos on Instagram Live and a former elementary school teacher, Annie is uniquely poised to share fun and light with both young and grown-up friends.

Annie is a huge fan of laughing with friends, confetti, soccer, and boiled peanuts (preferably from a back-roads Georgia gas station).
