More about I Like The Me I See!
A children’s picture book illustrated richly by Solomia Kovalchuk, Jessica Hebron, aka Culture Queen, pens a quick story about personal empowerment, where body positivity and self-affirmation are expressed in ways that will appeal to the little ones.
Also a musician, Culture Queen takes inspiration from a song of hers also called “I Like The Me I See!”, as this eye catching and really enjoyable read even allows for some creativity as the kids get to draw their own self-portrait at the end of the book.
In a world where far too many are consumed with comparing themselves to others, this is a fantastic read to help instill confidence, pride and even compassion in our children, and the text even flows like a song with a playful memorableness.
Although it’s aimed for ages 3-8, our 5 month old really enjoys the bright, detailed artwork that is filled with symbols from Ghana, West Africa, and hey, they’re never too young to learn about the inherent beauty that each one of us possesses and radiates, right?
