Firstly, I'd like to extend a thank you to the author, Emily Lauren Dick, the illustrator, Mimi Moffie, the publisher, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this children's picture book called I Love Me from A to Z. I will share my review to Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble upon release. What an adorable and inclusive book! I thought this book was just so cute. This alphabet-centered kids' book has a girl featured doing an activity on each page related to the letter, and there is a great diversity of skin tones/sizes/hair styles/scenarios represented that will be sure to capture the attention of a child. Little girls will probably find a lot from this book, as it has a lot of pink, girly color schemes and most of the characters in the book seem female-presenting (but children of other genders will certainly not be unable to connect to any of the information). I thought the word choices for each letter were good and the sentences were chosen well in order to encourage body positivity, healthy choices, and self-confidence. I would recommend this to children of all kinds!

This is a really sweet alphabet book with a great message for young children. I really enjoyed the diversity and representation in this book. The illustrations are adorable. The book is fun and engaging. My five year old really enjoyed reading the book to me. This would be the perfect book to read in a preschool or kindergarten classroom!

Okay I absolutely adore this!! Each letter is a beautiful message and the illustrations are so cute. I love the diverse representation too! Will definitely be reading this to my nephew when he’s older.

thank you to netgalley, author emily lauren dick, illustrator mimi moffie and familius for the ARC epub version of this future board book.
this book deserves a spot in every library, in classrooms and in your child’s personal collection. the casual lgbtq+ positivity and disability representation was fantastic. it was very cute!
when curating a children’s book collection, make sure this is in it.

I really like board books due to their durability, but I don’t often see any with really “deep” messages. This book provides examples of how each person is special related to a factor starting with each letter of the alphabet. There is great diversity in this book- differing skin tones, cultures and physical abilities. I also loved the hidden letter on each page.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of the next book that I’m going to add to my classroom library. Emily Lauren Dick’s I Love Me from A to Z is full of vibrant illustrations and a multitude of messages about self-love. My school has a strong focus on incorporating SEL (social emotional learning) lessons daily, and this will be an excellent addition to my morning SEL read aloud selection.
