I Like Myself!

Really sturdy hard book for kids.

Great message to this book for children

5yr old loves it

Adorei.

Un libro maravilloso acerca de aceptarse y quererse uno mismo.

We love this book! My 22 month old enjoys it too! I first saw this at Barnes and Noble and thought it was adorable. I found it cheaper on amazon, so ordered it. I love that it’s a board book (durable), and the illustrations are great. I’d describe it as a modern Dr. Seuss combined with a touch of Roy Lichtenstein. Net, the art is unique, interesting and captivating!We are a Caucasian family, and I try to buy our daughter toys and books which represent our diverse world. I don’t want her to only have dolls, books and toys that look like her. I want her to understand the world is diverse, everyone is unique, and that’s what makes everything and everyone beautiful!The message in this story is truly universal. Boy, girl, black, white, blue... it doesn’t matter what you look like, this book applies to everyone. Everyone is unique, special and should be loved and liked.The storyline is simple enough to keep her interest, but not something I see her outgrowing in a few years. We have used this as a tool to teach her to love herself, and she repeats the title-phrase: “I like myself.” This MELTS my and her daddy’s heart. Exactly the mantra we want her to have.There’s a part in the book where the little girl has crazy hair, and we love that page. Our little one has light blonde, very short, very thin and “fuzzy” hair. So, she regularly has crazy hair that requires wetting and a quick brush. (So, cute!) We’ve long said to her, “crazy hair, don’t care!” She says this all the time when we touch her hair or brush it, and she recites that line on this page. It’s a fun book in many ways! Highly recommended!
