All by Myself - by Elizabeth Everett (Hardcover)

About the Book

"A young child boasts about all the new things they can do such as stack blocks, connect two puzzle pieces, and put on their shoes. When it comes time to build a castle, complete a full puzzle, or tie their laces, they may have to ask for help. And that's okay!"--

Book Synopsis

I can do many things all by myself, but sometimes I need a little help.

A young child boasts about all the new things they can do such as stack blocks, connect two puzzle pieces, and put on their shoes. When it comes time to build a castle, complete a full puzzle, or tie their laces, they may have to ask for help. And that's okay!

Elizabeth Everett channeled her experience as a teacher to pen this empowering story, and Shelley Hanmo used vibrant and fun cut paper art to bring a child's favorite activities to do (with help!) to life.

Review Quotes

"The tone makes clear that needing help is nothing out of the ordinary; the expressly stated message at story's end is that needing help is perfectly okay. This intention is balanced with a marvelously child-centered text, each opening activity recognizable as a potential point of "I can do it myself" pride for young children."--Cooperative Children's Book Center
