Being Friends

Being Friends

This is a cute rhyming book about two friends. Despite their many differences, they both treasure their friendship with one another. "I like you and you like me, and though we're different as can be...we both like being friends." My daughter, especially, loved this book. She likened it to herself and some of her friends!

I Like Myself!

I Like Myself!

This book is VERY cute! I really reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book. The book is very silly, but the little girl exudes self-confidence, which I absolutely love! In rhyme she talks about all the things she likes about herself. Just to give you an idea of the silly nature of the book, the little girl comments on how she would still like herself even if she had "knobby knees or hippo hips or purple polka-dotted lips." Despite the silliness, the true points come across loud and clear!!!

"Even when I look a mess,

I still don't like me any less,

'cause nothing in this world, you know,

can change what's deep inside, and so..."

"Inside, outside, upside down,

from head to toe and all around,

I like it all: It all is me:

And me is all I want to be."

This is a very cute book about having self-confidence and self-appreciation!
