Beaumont, Karen. 2004. I LIKE MYSELF. Ill. by David Catrow. New York: Harcourt, Inc.. ISBN 0152020136
I LIKE MYSELF is a dynamic picture storybook that exemplifies positive self-esteem, where the main character likes every part of herself, from her hair to her toes and does not care what other people think. She likes the way she acts and thinks and does not want to change anything! Beaumont creates a powerful message to children, girls especially, that they should like ever thing about themselves, no matter how they are made. Catrow’s bright illustrations bring life and humor to this powerful story. The spirit and zaniness of the girl are revealed though her varied facial expressions, body language, and actions that Catrow creates using animated cartoon illustrations. Children will be captivated by both the story and the illustrations and will beg for this story to be told over and over again.
