"I'm Gonna Like Me"...Tiffany Mease

The complete title of this book is "I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting off a Little Self-Esteem" by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. I must say that this book was absolutely wonderful. I loved the concept and the illustrations. The main idea of this book is to show kids that it is okay to make mistakes and that you should love yourself no matter what. To quote from the book: "I'm gonna like me when I don't run so fast. Then they pick teams and I'm chosen last." The illustration for this line shows the little girl prancing around happily even though she was chosen last for a team. I think it is so important for kids to understand that not being the best is okay and acceptable. This book really shows kids how to be themselves and love themselves for who they are as an individual. This will definitely be a book I have in my classroom. The concept is great and the illustrations are ones in which children would find humorous.
