I Matter

by Laurie Wright

Kids should know they matter even when the words aren't said!

Sometimes Elise feels happy, but sometimes she feels sad. There are things in her life that even make her feel MAD.

Elise is a clever little girl, however, so she stops and thinks about her feelings, and realizes that she is always important and that she MATTERS .

Kids matter to their family and friends, and to the world around them, and they need to know it.

About the author

Children's author Laurie Wright is a silly but smart, busy mom of three who laughs at her own jokes just a bit too much. The minivan is her sanctuary, and the only place she can sing out loud without being shushed. She’s known for her short term memory and extreme love of chips and dip. Usually on her best behavior, watch out when her filter wears off! Never without her laptop and a notebook. Trust her with your kids and your books, but not your coffee!

I Matter (Mindful Mantras #2) by Laurie Wright. Illustrated by Ana Santos. Kindle edition. ©2017. 3 stars.

Offbeat main character (a little girl), and illustrations with desaturated or muted tones, as well as dubious facial expressions, detract from the original good message of this book and communicate caution, doubt, gloom, sadness or depression, and lean toward the masculine. This could be vastly improved with the use of vibrant colors other than just the occasional pop of red. Children respond best to bright colors and this actually accelerates his or her mind development—girls in particular showing a greater preference and responsiveness to vivid color. Engage your child with clear, bright colors and you will soon see the positive effect in terms of interest, engagement and attitude.

This is book two in the Mindful Mantras and it is great. Ms .Laurie Wright has a way of making these important ideas easier. This Book is about, I Matter. The girl saw a baby crying in the park. She went over and soon the baby was giggling and that made her feel fuzzy. Her brother was sick, she took him a blanket and tissue and she feels glad. There are more examples. At the end ofeach.one , she says, "I Matter'. At the end of the book you will need either a picture of your child or you will need a pencil or crayon. Good luck with the rest of the book.
I just wanted to let you know, "You Matter!!!"
I found this book on Amazon for free and an honest review.

What I would give to have books like this and the rest of the series when I was a kid. All of them not only say that it's okay to feel the way you do but gives you a few constructive ideas on what to do about them. Action steps, it's all about moving forward even when you're feelings say no.

Excellent

I wish this book was around when I was a child. Excellent message and delightful illustrations. I will definitely read this book with my grandchildren!

[Abby Peskin]

While I really think "I matter" is a very important affirmation to teach children, I'm not sure the examples here really sell the message in the most effective way.
