Book Reviews~

"This is one of the greatest books my daughter has.  I like how simple it is since English is not my first language and she has to deal with multi-language.  It also gives her self-confidence, which is very important, especially nowdays."
                                                                                                                                          Yuriko Y.  Georgia

"I wish this was something I had as a child. Something so simple can make such a huge impact on a child's self image. Imagine how this one simple thing can change a classroom, a school, a community, a country, the world! Thank you for the gift you have given to my children in writing this book!" 
                                                                                                                                          Suzanne B. Canada

"So much of what we want for our kids is captured here in just 10 sentences. It's tonic for babies, toddlers and teenagers; I wish someone would read it to me every night before bed."    
                                                                                                                                          Susan T. Australia 

"I read i love me! for the first time during a competitive speech meet at my high school. I was feeling really nervous and needed some encouragement. I opened the book, read it, and felt so much easier about everything.  I was able to make it to finals for the first time in my speech experience all because of the small children's book stored in my purse! It gave me courage when I needed some, just with the simple three words on each page. Now I make it a habit to read it before every round and it's an amazing comforter." 
                                                                                                                                           Noelle G. Nebraska

"My ten-month-old daughter is fascinated by all of the colors. The simple statements on each page are very engaging for a baby. It's a perfect book to read before bedtime!"  
                                                                                                                                          Tracy H. Minnesota



"Your book is my favorite thing to give to new parents!!!  I am very grateful that you created it and that it is so easy to order!"

What makes i love me! so unique?

The artwork for i love me! was happily created and inspired by children for children.  

One Sunday in early 2009, Cole and Dakota, the happy little artists, excitedly sat up to the dining room table.  With fingerpaint colors and paper in front of them, they were free to create as they wished.  When I mentioned that we were creating a book for other boys and girls, the pages of paintings began to flow one after another.  First the table was full, next the chairs and soon every available horizontal surface in our living room was covered with little drying masterpieces!  

This book was created with such joy, we were all singing at the top of our lungs... "I love you!, I love me!"  Cole and Dakota were so proud to be helping other little boys and girls through their creation.

i love me!  includes a page to be personalized with the child's own handprint.  Cole and Dakota even continued personalizing their books by pasting their pictures on the inside of the back cover!
