My name is Miranda Goldizen; I am the author and illustrator of the book Waterbush High School. I have been attending Westport Schools since I was in first grade; I am now in ninth grade. The purpose of my book is to help young students learn to embrace who they really are. To demonstrate that not everybody is going to like you, but that might just be because they don’t know you. Just by being yourself you will make the friends that are right for you, because they will like you for you.
