🚨BOOK OF THE WEEK 📚
"I Like Myself!"
In the world of children's literature, few books shine as brightly as Karen Beaumont's "I Like Myself!" This vibrant and joyful book, illustrated by David Catrow, is a celebration of self-acceptance and individuality, perfect for readers of all ages.
"I Like Myself!" follows a young girl as she confidently declares all the reasons she loves who she is, from her wild hair to her wiggly toes. The rhythmic and rhyming text paired with Catrow's whimsical and colorful illustrations creates an engaging and uplifting reading experience.
As a speech-language pathologist who works with individuals communication disabilities and are often "othered" I find "I Like Myself!" to be an invaluable resource. The repetitive language, rhythmic patterns, and positive affirmations make it an excellent tool for promoting language development and self-esteem. The book encourages children to embrace their uniqueness and feel proud of who they are, a message that is crucial for all kids, especially those with diverse communication needs.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or therapist, "I Like Myself!" is a must-have addition to your library. It's more than just a book; it's a powerful tool for fostering self-love and acceptance in children, helping them to celebrate their unique qualities and feel confident in their own skin. So, if you haven't already, grab a copy of "I Like Myself!" and share its positive, affirming message with the children in your life.
