About the Book

Book Synopsis

Empower kids to develop and build positive self-esteem and self-confidence.

"What makes you YOU?" Be Yourself, Like Yourself is a fun and friendly book that launches kids into understanding that they are important and loved, and that they can build their self-esteem and confidence by recognizing their own unique traits and strengths. People with strong self-esteem believe in themselves, are proud of themselves, and feel confident that they can do and learn hard things.

Be Yourself, Like Yourself invites kids to look at what makes them who they are and dig deep to discover all the things they know, like, and do, as well as the people who care about them and are there to help them along. Helpful "stick-up" tips for dealing with meanness, strategies for being nice to yourself, and self-esteem do's and don'ts give young readers lots of ways to boost confidence and bounce back from setbacks in order to stay strong through both good and hard times.
