With painted illustrations and an optimistic rhyming scheme, Just Like Me offers the reflection of experiences and feelings that many girls may have about their lives growing up. From living in the country to the city, with scrapes on their knees and flowers in their hair, there are moments in time which every girl shares the experience of wanting, embarrassment, and having all out fun.
I honestly didn't expect this book to be a collection of poems, but it was a wonderful surprise! The illustrations were vivid and colorful and totally fun to boot! This is a great way to introduce your young one to poetry, and this book makes for a great time for comparing and relating to the experiences described within. Great for grades 1-3.

This is the girl-power book I want to share with my girls when they are older! Celebrating differences, similarities, strengths, and individuality. Loved the colorful and spunky illustrations.

With each new picture book in my self-imposed 100-Picture-Books-Read Challenge for 2021, I learn more about what makes a good picture book text, and what resonates with me in both the illustrations and the writing. In her author-illustrated work, [a:Vanessa Brantley-Newton|16812297|Vanessa Brantley-Newton|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1550167074p2/16812297.jpg] writes an ode to "Every Girl" in a beautifully lyrical and rhythmic tone. From feisty, strong warriors to shy, innovative explorers, we see a rainbow of girls and topics that help celebrate and uplift girls [b:Just Like Me|43659628|Just Like Me|Vanessa Brantley-Newton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1563397090l/43659628._SX50_.jpg|67928717].
