What I See in Me by Becky Snow

5.0

This lovely picture book helps children to see that everyone is special and unique and the things that we see in the mirror are one part of what makes us different from others. This story teaches that the differences we see in ourselves and others are part of who we are and make us beautiful and unique. It preaches the importance of self love and self esteem. The characters throughout the pages have a variety of special characteristics, from ginger hair to being in a wheelchair, this story demonstrates that the things that make us different are also the things we should celebrate about ourselves and others. Each double page has 1-2 sentences that rhyme, making this book very approachable for young readers and the pictures are colourful and detailed to support an understanding of what is being read. I would recommend this book for teachers and families of children in the 3-8 age range. I could see this being an independent reading book for slightly older children in that age range and a shared reading bedtime story or class diversity-related read aloud in prek/kindergarten. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!
