We are reading “I like myself!” By Karen Beaumont. Illustrated by David Carrie.

One little girl’s exuberant ode to self-esteem that celebrates the joy of liking who you are:

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.

Even as she imagines herself with increasingly silly physical features such as “knobby knees, or hippo hips, or purple polka-dotted lips”, this indomitable little girl’s sense of self-worth remain strong.

Sassy and soulful, this book is sure to inspire every child to revel in his or her own special uniqueness. (Preschool–2nd grade)
