Whoever You Are

Author: Mem Fox
Every day all over the world, children are laughing and crying, playing and learning, eating and sleeping. They may not look the same. They may not speak the same language. Their lives may be quite different. But inside, they are all alike. Stirring words and bold paintings weave their way around our earth, across cultures and generations. At a time when, unfortunately, the lessons of tolerance still need to be learned, Whoever You Are urges us to accept our differences, to recognize our similarities, and-most importantly-to rejoice in both.

It would also be great to include books for kids to improve their self-esteem. Kids today seem to get confused very often and they need support at every stage of their life. Sometimes they can't even find the strength to love themselves. That's why negative self-talk can appear. In order to avoid that kids need reassuring and positive affirmations every day. You can find out more in my post here https://aliciaortego.com/negative-self-talk/

First of all, you’re right to say that children deserve respect as well. Some people say that you don’t even need to teach kids anything, you just need to show things with your own example. But I think that reading books about respect and immersing yourself into the world of fun and exciting character would be a perfect quality time spending for you and your kids.
I also have a collection of such books here https://aliciaortego.com/books-about-respect/. Take a look if you need advice on that.
