Reviewed by Rose Davies

Colourfully and imaginatively illustrated, with cute pen and watercolour double page spreads, this themed book is a very basic positive thinking book for young ones with the target 3-8 years old. Exploring the different facets of personality and what makes each of us different and uniquely lovable, the book encourages children to think positively. It doesn’t matter whether you are short or tall, whether you can count to 10, or how we are different, the important thing is to feel good inside and to love ourselves.
