It's Great to be Me
By Melissa Ahonen
This book shows different children from various walks of life stating positive affirmations about themselves.
When I was growing up if some kid said some of these affirmations in the school yard, a wise guy would say ,"Is that so?" Then everyone would laugh! Probably belt him with stones. I am glad times are changing!😂

IT'S GREAT TO BE ME: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS FOR CHILDREN by Melissa Ahonen is a children's story book with a different 'daily' affirmation looking at bravery, strength, uniqueness, talent, kindness and gratefulness.
Told in AABB rhyme scheme with colorful images, IT' GREAT TO BE ME is suitable for an older child, perhaps 6+, due to the wording e.g. challenges, bravery, strength, unique, talent, kindness and gratefulness....a wonderful introduction to a child's positivity and self esteem

This book is lovely and has a wonderful message for children. It has some helpful tips for parents in the back. It would be great for kids struggling with self-esteem, and also for children learning the names for different experiences.
