My Self, Your Self

LoveReading4Kids Says

From a brand-new publisher, Rocket Bird Books, we have a gorgeous picturebook that will facilitate deep and meaningful conversations at home or in the classroom setting.

A child’s sense of self does not really develop until they are at least two. Prior to that they cannot distinguish their body from their mother’s and they imperiously own them both! Here they can begin to learn the language to be able to talk about what it means to be a self and how we are all unique.

It is never too early to be hearing the message that you need to look after your ‘self’ as well as valuing differences in others. Differences which may be the very reason why we like them. The indeterminate, but nature themed and very attractively characterful, creatures depicted in this fable really help ensure that the messages are universal. As they interact, thoughtful questions and simple sentences encourage discussion and self-discovery from young readers who learn what small things the creature likes about themself and their companions.

A wonderful study in self-awareness, beautifully illustrated in detailed line and soft colour that demands close inspection. If this lovingly produced hardback is any indication, then this is a publisher to watch!
