I Am Me

Big feelings need words. And children need someone beside them.

Young children experience big emotions long before they have the words to explain what they feel or need.

I Am Me: 10 Affirmations for Big Feelings is an illustrated picture book that helps toddlers and preschoolers explore emotions, express their needs, build confidence and discover who they are.

Through ten affirmations, children explore everyday experiences such as trying new things, showing kindness, speaking up, trusting their ideas and growing at their own pace.

Each affirmation is accompanied by two sections for grown-ups: Why It Matters, which explains the idea behind the affirmation, and Try This Together, which offers practical activities and conversation prompts for everyday life.

With a sensory-aware approach, the book recognises that every child experiences emotions differently. It encourages parents, caregivers and educators to respond with understanding and support rather than expecting every child to find calm in the same way.

Designed for ages 2 and up, I Am Me supports shared reading at home, in childcare settings, preschools and early learning classrooms.

Because every child deserves to feel heard, understood and accepted for who they are.
