Description
A counting book that encourages children to love themselves and each other. New from the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture and the author and illustrator of A Is for All the Things You Are.
You're special, and that’s what counts! The brightly illustrated 123 I Like You and Me: A Joyful Counting Book not only teaches children numbers 1-10, but asks questions that encourage them to express their thoughts, emotions, and connection to other people:
Eight children just the same
Eight children unique and different
All have feelings—happy ones, sad ones, scary ones, angry ones.
Each child expresses feelings in different ways.
What feelings did you have today? What do you think the children in the pictures are feeling?
With accessible language and vivid illustrations, this book is perfect for families and educators who want to empower children to feel good about themselves, communicate their feelings, and embrace the unique characteristics of the people around them.
