Mostly Me

We love "Mostly Me"! It's a great way to encourage the littles in our life to celebrate the multitudes they and others contain and to explore self-identity early in life. The kiddos seem to love the colorful illustrations and playful rhyming :)

This is the book I so desperately needed as a child. While it wasn't an available resource to me, I'm so glad my daughter will have it as she navigates the world and finds her identity. I've bought five copies - one for our family and four for friends.

Mostly Me is such a sweet book, full of encouraging messages about accepting and loving yourself, just as you are. It's an instant classic in my eyes. I bought several copies to give as presents for the many kids in my life. I'll keep one for myself, though, because I want my future child to have it!

My two young children aren’t old enough to read yet, but they understand concepts like belonging and family. I’m so grateful this book was created to give them the words to see how they are unique and wholly both of their inherited cultures.

My son recently purchased the book MOSTLY ME to introduce my grandson to what it means to be different….i.e. mixed race. As a former Pre-K teacher I was bowled over by the thoughtful words and perfect illustrations. The language used in the book is relatable to children birth through 3rd grade. The illustrations match the prose to a tea! While touching on the topic of potential bigotry or short sightedness on the part of others, it continues to validate the uniqueness of the child and foster a strong sense of self esteem. Bravo to both the author and illustrator for a job very well done.

I love this book. My 6-year-old understood the deeper meaning of the book immediately and without prompting. We had a great conversation about being unique and being yourself. The pictures are cute and the words are meaningful, with such a powerful message. I recommended it to several local and school libraries, it's just that good!!
