Publisher's Synopsis
Looking for inclusive, children's books with substance for your classroom or home?
Written by K.A. Wright, "Perfect, Just Like You! A Healthy Way To Love & Learn'' is not your average children's book. It's a powerful, thoughtfully crafted, fun, and interactive healing tool. PJLY was created to help children from all walks of life who (may or may not ) struggle with the effects of racism, any disability or disease, low self esteem, bullying, and self-hate, love themselves unconditionally. It serves as building block that gives children a fighting chance to combat the negative words and energy they often encounter throughout their stages of growth and developement.
It's the perfect confidence builder that creates a space for healing, self-love, understanding diversity and the importance of cultivating the beauty within. Perfect, Just Like You!, not only teaches children to love, respect, acknowledge and embrace their own differences, but to also acknowledge, embrace, and respect the differences of others.
"In the beginning of this story, there is you! There is no one on earth who is exactly like you! No one can take your place. You are your own individual. You cannot be replaced..."
K.A.Wright uses strategic, beautiful rhythmic poetry to tackle topics such as hair, skin, eyes, height, weight, abilities, and other inherent features. It also contains inclusive images that acknowledge and respect the differences of each individual, sight words to help young readers strengthen and expand their vocabulary, meaningful puzzle piece breakdowns, uplifting affirmations, a special message sent with care that speaks to suicide prevention and child abuse (molestation), mental health resources, and so much more!
Each character represents a way of life and different abilities of all children on any day. All children wear puzzle pieces. Each puzzle piece has a meaning.
No matter the race, religion, gender or ethnicity, Perfect, Just Like You! A Healthy Way to Love & Learn, is a must have tool for children, teachers and parents alike. It teaches children to unapologetically love themselves just the way they are while also acknowledging and respecting the differences of others - a positive message for children of every age, ability, and color.
Love this? Don't miss the "Perfect, Just Like You! Coloring Book/workbook." It's the perfect tool book for parents to monitor their child's thoughts and emotional state.
