Wow, what a treat to read in early morning. Being an Early Years Educationist I must say that this book covers diversity and can be adopted by any curriculum leaders around the world. Real images are enhancing the topic, and every child can relate to it. Being a reviewer, I picked that book due to its title. The opening page says, eyes, eyes, eyes, where are your eyes? this questioning technique keeps me connected with the book to complete it in one go. Must read it to your children to celebrate their individuality and unique features of their personality.
Bravo for your work Manjiri Subhash!
A very sweet book, for reinforcing self esteem of all of us human beings. The last two pages explain the psychology behind the book, but the text of the book is for young folks (although the book says the book is for ages 3 to 300, wow), and there is a surprise ending, so I won't tip that here. A pleasing book and nicely done.
I really liked the goal/message of this book, but I think that the overall book could have been fine-tuned a bit. The first part of this book felt weird and unnecessary, and the book would have actually been better without it. By saying "the first part" I mean the "eyes eyes eyes" "ears ears ears" etc part. However, I enjoyed reading the rest of the book that was centered around emotion. Additionally, the pictures accurately illustrate these emotions, which is great to help little ones learn. Lastly, I loved the message that the author wanted this book to have, but it got a little lost in translation (especially for young readers). I would add clear and heartwarming phrases such as: "all of these emotions are ok" or "express yourself" or something along those lines. Overall, though, this book teaches kids self-esteem *and* emotional lessons within one short story.
You're a Miracle! goes through the parts of a face and how each person's special look makes them specifically them. I liked that there were a wide range of kids shown in the photographs so that kids have a better chance of finding someone who reminds them of themselves. The words are simple and could be read by an early reader, or with the help of an adult. I see this being a good gift idea, especially by putting a photo of the recipient in the portion at the end.
Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
The message of the book is that each person is a miracle, with their own unique features and varying emotions. The intention of the author is clear and is presented nicely for young children. My own children enjoyed looking at the pictures of real faces and we are thankful for diversity in the representation of faces. This book could work well for an early reader, or brilliantly for younger children. It would also make a nice gift idea with the inclusion of the recipient at the end of the book!
With thanks to the publisher for the digital review copy, via NetGalley. This review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.
I loved this book! It allows for you to interact with your child, asking them to point out their features and then make faces with you. I also loved how the book has a place for your child’s photo. This is a great way to introduce young kids to both the parts of their face and the experience of reading with someone.
Adorable book! Super simple and easy to understand, I loved the message.
The beginning of the book starts with identifying parts of your face: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, etc. I could see reading this with a young toddler and asking them to point to each body part and even engaging in a discussion about what each part of our face does.
The second half of the book focuses on the different types of emotions we can identify on a face. This is a fantastic teaching tool for young children - or children who struggle with identifying emotions - because the book uses real life pictures.
I love the message at the end, because I do believe that each child is a miracle and a blessing! And you can personalize the book by putting a picture of your child at the end.
Cute book, great message!
A very simple but effective book that interacts with younger listeners about where certain parts of their body are - i.e eyes, lips, eyebrows etc
Then it moves on to facial expressions and feelings and shows you what each face means.
Like I said, very simple and very basic but effective.
This is a picture book on the different kind of expression for the children to read and understand. They themselves like others usually make these face and much more often than adults. Author's way to explain on what kind of eyes could be and same way other face parts, say lips, nose, ears, etc. However, guilty face looked more to me as an angry face but rest are pretty self-explanatory. All people have different combination of lips, eyes, chins, ears and noses to have their own faces & its facial expressions. In addition, she explained about the very precious moment in every women's life when she become a mother and no matter what her child's face becomes the most dearest and loveable for her through out her life.
It definitely a heart-touching for any children to know that their parents knew no other pleasure in this world when it comes to have them as their most prized treasure. So this is a very good book on gifting to your child and let him/her know that it is only you who mattered most for your parents.
