This is Me is a brilliant book about emotions, abilities, and characteristics. In the introduction, the author explains how these three aspects make up everyone: characteristics are part of our personalities, abilities are skills some people have or can get better at through practice, and emotions are feelings that affect how we deal with others. To illustrate this, we meet several children and we see how this plays out. Tina is a shy child (characteristic) who can feel anxious or overwhelmed (emotion) in social situations. But Tina is also thoughtful (ability); because she is quiet and observant, she may notice when other children feel left out.
These character studies show children some labels they may think are negative (shy, hasty, oversensitive, argumentative) are not necessarily ‘bad’ and that by learning about ourselves and our emotions, we can learn to react differently. A child may be hasty, but they can learn to stop and think before they act with practice. The children pictured in the book are diverse, with a variety of skin tones and hairstyles.
