Join Disney Legend Jodi Benson on a magical journey from a Midwestern town to the bright lights of Broadway and the recording booth where she brought one of the most beloved Disney princesses of all time to life!

A treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes, Part of My World reads like a real-life fairy tale as a girl with a big voice and even bigger dreams sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, Jodi shares lessons she's learned about faith, friendship, love, loss, taking chances, making mistakes, following God’s call, and chasing your dreams. In Part of My World you’ll come alongside Jodi as she

• struggles to find her footing in the rehearsal halls of Manhattan;

• finds (then loses, then marries) her prince charming;

• makes a splash on Broadway;

• gives voice to a feisty redheaded mermaid, a blonde bombshell named Barbie, and a Tony-nominated powerhouse named Polly; and

• searches for her own personal happily ever after.

Written with warmth, humor, and disarming vulnerability, Part of My World is a captivating glimpse behind the curtain at the making of one of the most celebrated animated movies of all time, and a must-listen for Disney fans of all ages.

wonderful

beautifully written & Jody herself narrates with emotion & depth. It was like sitting with her . wonderful book

Right on time

Being an imperfect Christian, as well as a homeschool mother…this book was right on time for me, as usual. Not only was this a lovely book to read, it had me in tears as God spoke to me through my own similar circumstances as well as those that were vastly different.

I cannot express enough how much this book has done for me. Thank you, Jodi, for putting the fruit of others in your life to become your own as it continues to trickle down. May God continue to bless!

I love you Daddy

Jodi seems to be so lovable; by far, my very favorite part was hearing how Ariel’s whispered good-bye to her father came about. Was touched by Jodi’s verb explanation of everything that good-bye meant. BEAUTIFUL! It meant much to me as a 4yo, and continues today. About to go pop The Little Mermaid on to watch with my kids.

Sweet, special book with beautiful narration

What a very sweet, special book! As a fan of Disney, Ariel and Jodi it was an honor and joy to get to know Jodi’s life story, family and faith journey in this vulnerable, beautiful way. The book was made even more pleasurable by having Jodi’s lovely, charming voice narrate it! What an absolute treat! (Thank you for being salt and light and for allowing us to take a glimpse into part of your world!)

Amazing!

Hearing Jodi’s story and read by her nonetheless was amazing! Her testimony is powerful and I’m so glad she shared it.
