"It's gorgeous; a fantastic little book and beautifully illustrated by little and big hands ― with some wonderful, wonderful messages there."
Suzy Cato,
Children's Television Presenter
"Congratulations on a thought-provoking book which I will use in exploration of feelings and self-esteem when working with pre-schoolers."
Ruth E Miller,
East Coast Bays Community Centre
"A resilience building resource; Skylight knows first hand the impact of low self esteem on the development and everyday lives of children, teens and adults too. It can prevent healthy relationships and the way a person sees and relates to the world. This simple, colourful new children's book, I Love Myself, is an innovative resilience building tool that can play an important part in assisting children, and others, to appreciate who they are, why they are loveable and about ways they can use to positively affirm themselves - and start to genuinely respect and love themselves.
It's heart warming, honest and engaging. A book that makes people start to smile as they read it - what more could you want when you're wanting to encourage those with self doubt and low self esteem? Skylight warmly recommends it to parents and professionals working alongside children of all age."

"I am delighted to have come across Angela's gorgeous self-published book, "I Love Myself". On reading it for the first time, I was immediately struck by how accurately Angela has identified the building blocks of a child's self-esteem, and addressed each one of them in a fun and accessible way. If that weren't enough, the illustrations are adorable and appropriate.
You can't help but feel good when you read this book!"

"We found the book 'I love Myself' a wonderful story that could be used in different ways and at all levels of the school. It also covers some of the expectations of the New Zealand Curriculum with many of the values included in this document reinforced in this book."
Pam King,
Principal,
Kauri Park School
"It's a very safe way of encouraging children to explore different feelings. Children seem to understand and respond, they think of ways of dealing with the situations through the messages in this book."
Zahra,
Montessori preschool,
Ponsonby
"The blank pages at the back, where a child can write their own messages about why they love themselves, are her favourite section. I've used these pages so often with children to boost their self-esteem; the pictures and statements they include are very moving... its contents fit so closely with our school-wide values and attitudes."
Megan Bowden,
principal,
Oteha Valley School
"This little book contains a bundle of positive messages that can be used to work through a range of social skills and mental health promotion topics with young children. The themes running through the pages are illustrated wonderfully by children of all ages, and the words are pitched at a level that most early readers could cope with (although the book would lend itself equally well to paired reading or use in a kindergarten or school group reading setting).
Each page has a deceptively simple statement and image that can be taken just at face value, or can open up a whole world of possibilities for discussion and activities on how children think, feel and act. “I Love Myself” uses examples of everyday situations and tools to help children negotiate common social challenges such as being an individual, making friends, doing things for others and communication skills. The beauty of this book is that it delivers these messages in a light, colourful and accessible package for all ages."
Gail Fotheringham,
Mental Health Foundation,
Youth Representative
"Inspiring moments with children created from great discussion, creating lasting positive change."
Shelley Anderson,
Home & Family Counselling
"Congratulations on such a wonderful book. I was given a copy by a friend of mine and love it. When I'm reading it to my son it makes me think of how I can parent him to achieve feeling that way about himself, it reminds me not only to be conscious of his behaviour etc but how he feels inside too. And now of course I want to share it with the world!"
