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

Amazing!

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

Life changing

You can hear and feel Jodi’s authenticity and vulnerability through her story telling. Her words and stories are so encouraging.

If an Audiobook Could Be a Hug

Listening to this audiobook was like receiving a warm hug! I had purchased the book but hadn’t kept up with it so I decided to try the audio version. So cool to hear it told by Jodi (who I would happily petition for her to do more audiobooks - I could listen to her read anything)! Her story is incredible. Started it to hear more about Ariel but ended it feeling more hopeful about my own life. Thanks Jodi!

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!)

Loved it!

I can listen to her voice all day. So calming. Enjoyed listening to her story.

I really was ... Part of her world

It was like Ariel was reading to me and you really saw how much of Ariel was Jodi all along ... down to her giggles.

I loved listening to her story so very much so very much.

However, I was truly and genuinely blessed that all throughout her book ... Jodi's faith in God & Christ was expressed, shined, spilled over and over ... It was like being in church (in a blessed way). It made me love (reverently) Jodi more and feel closer to God bc Jodi never strayed from her humanity so I was reminded constantly that my flesh is broken, my humanity is flawed but in Christ, I am made whole.

It is truly amazing how God took a simple girl ... made her into a singing mermaid and then changed the world with her testimony.

wonderful book!

Loved that it was read by Jodi Benson! She did a wonderful job. would definitely recommend it

Wonderful book!

I loved listening to Jodi share her story. Her faith is evident in all she does. I think I may listen to it again. Definitely recommend!
