I Like Myself! (Board Book - Large)

Author(s): Karen Beaumont

Self-Esteem & Fitting In | Board Books | Feminist

High on energy and imagination, this ode to self-esteem encourages kids to appreciate everything about themselves—inside and out. Messy hair? Beaver breath? So what! Here's a little girl who knows what really matters.


At once silly and serious, Karen Beaumont's joyous rhyming text and David Catrow's wild illustrations unite in a book that is sassy, soulful—and straight from the heart.


In rhyming text, a little girl expresses confidence and joy in her uniqueness, no matter her outward appearance.
