Synopsis

A first book of positive affirmations - perfect for building confidence and self-esteem in very young children.

Every morning, we look into the mirror with Daddy. Together, we say words to help us feel proud and brave, powerful and strong...  Brimming with positivity, I Love Me! is a fun and empowering book of affirmations to help little ones stand tall. Written by Marvyn Harrison (founder of Dope Black Dads) and with art by Diane Ewen (the award-winning illustrator of Floella Benjamin's Coming to England), this upbeat book is perfect for sharing, easy to put into practice, and celebrates the very best in all of us!

With joyful, uplifting statements for each day of the week, it provides an enjoyable routine to help prepare young children for the wider world of nursery and school. The book also includes a bright, fold-out ending and tips for parents and carers.

Maria

WOW! What an amazing book exploring confidence and wellbeing. I Love Me! is perfect to share with preschool or even older children, exploring themes of being brave, kind, strong, smart and happy.


The text is spoken through the family characters who show how 'I am brave' in the things they do and the way they are with other people and animals. A super book to explore these themes in a simple but powerful way. The messages from this book will help children understand that they are all these things. The notes for parents and carers are brilliant, too, and are definitely an important part of helping children develop and have healthy minds about themselves and to use these skills when interacting with others, too.


I Love Me! is an important book and should be in every classroom promoting positivity and well being! Beautiful words and illustrations!!
