ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Michael Tyler is a published author and freelance writer, with a content focus on promoting acceptance and self-love for kids.

ABOUT THE BOOKS

The Skin You Live In” uses poetry/verse to promote the concept of acceptance, rather than tolerance, which only sees diversity as an obligation, not as an opportunity.

 

“Mirror Face” is a first of its kind book which teaches children that the truth of who they are can only be seen when looking at the mirror in their hearts.
