I am Janelle. But, this is not my name.

What happens when ordinary days become stories worth remembering?

I Am Janelle, But This Is Not My Name is a collection of daily journal entries filled with little moments, big feelings, funny thoughts, and everyday adventures - all seen through the eyes of a young girl growing up.

From school days and friendships to family outings, celebrations, new experiences, small worries and exciting discoveries, each entry captures a moment from Janelle's world in her own simple and honest way. Alongside her stories are playful illustrations and her Tiny Thoughts - little reflections on what each experience meant to her.

Some days are exciting. Some are funny. Some are ordinary. But every day has something worth writing about.

Created from Janelle's real journal-writing journey, this book celebrates the idea that children don't need extraordinary adventures to become writers. Sometimes, all they need is to notice what happened today - and start writing.

A warm and relatable read for young readers, and an encouraging reminder that every child has a story to tell.

Open the book, meet Janelle, and perhaps start a journal of your own.
