Fabled is thrilled to welcome Waco Police Chief Sheryl Victorian to discuss her new picture book, The Me I See. She will be joining us for a story-time and signing on Sunday, February 16th at 4PM!

About the Book:

The Me I See is an uplifting and beautifully illustrated children's book that introduces young readers to the primary characteristics of police officers while encouraging introspection and self-discovery. Designed for boys and girls alike, this heartwarming story shows children that they already possess the qualities needed to make a positive difference in their communities.

Through encouraging storytelling and relatable scenarios, The Me I See highlights key traits such as kindness, care, concern for others, and respectfulness - values that are central to the role of police officers. The book invites young readers to reflect on their own actions and character, helping them see that these qualities are already within them.

Each page is filled with vivid illustrations and inspiring messages that encourage children to take pride in who they are while fostering an appreciation for the work police officers do to keep communities safe. The narrative also serves as a reminder that everyone has the power to be a role model and a helper, no matter how young they are.

It is more than a story - it's a call to action for kids to be the best versions of themselves and to recognize the positive impact they can have on the world around them. Perfect for classroom discussions, family reading time, or community events, this book inspires children to embrace their inner strengths and build a foundation of kindness and respect.
