"A lovely first book to nurture self-confidence in the very young."
It’s never too early to help a child build their self-esteem, and I Shine like The Sun is a first book of self-affirmation. Simple sentences – I am precious, I am gentle, I am mighty – present positive affirmations alongside beautiful representations of the natural world: like the Earth, like the moon, like the wind.
Images are built from collage and are very attractive and very tactile. The penultimate page reads, ‘I am happy to be me’, and there’s a mirror for us, in the centre of a gorgeous sunflower. The final pages show child and parent in an embrace: I belong.
Positive, quietly demonstrating our connection to the natural world, and full of opportunities for talk, this is a lovely book to share and a valuable one.
'I shine like the Sun...I am precious like the Earth....' Sow the seeds of self-belief in your child at an early age with this transformative book of daily affirmations designed to build self-worth and confidence in young children. More than just phrases - they are the seeds that grow into beliefs that can be returned to in times of self-doubt. A child who believes they are 'mighty like the wind' will face challenges with positivity and fearlessness.
