I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem – A Social Emotional Learning Picture Book of Confidence and Kindness for Kids (Ages 4–8)

This book is such a good book. I bought this book for my niece. It is a book about self love. It’s so catchy and the illustrations are cool. “I'm gonna like me 'cause I'm loved and I know it,and liking myself is the best way to show it” is one of the best like lines in the book. I would even repeat that mantra as an adult. I love all the Jamie Lee Curtís books.

I purchased one set of Jamie Lee Curtis' books when my son was little. After he outgrew them, I donated them to the public library. Fast forward to about 5 years later and I was in a job working with children diagnosed as severely emotionally disturbed. These were great kids, but needed validation on the inner storms that they were feeling. I remembers these books and reordered 3 of the ones I had previously had. The kids loved them! They introduced topics in their terms and we were able to expand on the topic in ways that they understood. It was also fun when the kids used the books to show off their newly acquired reading skills.

I read this book (from my own home library) to my child's kindergarten class. His teacher liked it so much that she asked to borrow it for a day to read to her morning section of kindergarten (my son is in the afternoon class). I figured, if she likes it that much she should have her own copy! This book is validating and affirming for kids with quotes like "I'm gonna like me even when I get the answer wrong like thinking a ruler is 10 inches long". This helps me talk with my kids about liking themselves even when they aren't perfect.

I’ve bought several of the books in this series. I love the way they are written and the artwork just adds so much to the pleasure of reading them. I started reading these to my granddaughter when she was 5 and now she reads them to her younger cousins. They all love them. Even the 2 yr old. If you have youngsters in your house you have to give these a try

The occupational therapist in me fell in love with this book and the self acceptance of the heroine for herself. The mommy part loved the message it sends toy kindergartner and toddler about accepting themselves and their differences - especially with the comparisons that people point out. It's also helped my oldest adjust to kids in her class not "approving of" her lunchbox (she's a girl with a scoobydoo lunchbox).

I really like these therapy books by Jamie Lee Curtis! This book looks great! No torn pages and is in great shape. My only complaint is the book is warped a little... It's a hard back book so I doubt I'll ever be able to get it out, but it isn't that noticeable. I doubt my 6 yr old will care anyway!

This is a terrific book for children, teaching them to like themselves just they way they are without coming off as preachy. The illustrations are brilliant -- full color on every page. The cadence is catchy, a rhythm that carries the story throughout the entire book. The vocabulary is simple, but it will be difficult for some younger readers to read themselves, because half of it is written in cursive. Both of my children, ages 5 and 7, enjoy having me read them this book. Even I feel myself in good spirits when I'm done. Fun to read and fun to be read to, an excellent book.

This book is one of the best children's books I have ever read. I like all the illustrations. Make sure you look at all the drawings and pictures because there are some hidden gems in there! The theme and message of the story is really sweet and important for kids. Self-esteem is super important for healthy children!

Can never go wrong with a Jamie Lee Curtis book....never disappoints.

Nice story, awful font! So for that reason I've downed it one star but it is a nice story about building self esteem in children.

This book is lovely and my daughter enjoys it,however I have changed some of the wording whilst reading it from 'gonna' to 'going' and a few other American terms to more English but it's a hit.

Good but a little American as expected
