Customer Reviews

Very Special

Theresa McKeown has so beautifully written a book for children to let THEM know just how special they are. As an adult, I was immediately taken back to my childhood. I so wish this book had been available to me when I was a child. The twenty-six illustrations which accompany each letter of the alphabet are just exceptional. "The ABC's of Being Me" may be for children -- however, parents and adults will enjoy reading this book as well.

Absolutely Wonderful!

I thought this was going to just be a book about learning the ABC's and was thrilled to discover it's so much more! It's really about celebrating how wonderful it is to be who you and all the great qualities that are a part of every person. You will never get tired of reading this.

Wonderful Inspiring Book

A beautiful and inspiring book that teaches children the magic of who they are and the wonders of the world that they live in. Full of great teachings and written with pizazz and joy. A real keeper! Patrice

Perfect for the classroom

I think that this book perfectly balances what I need to teach along with what keeps children involved and stimulated in the classroom. The beautiful illustrations alongside of the exceptional writing is exactly the kind of literature I look forward to sharing with my students. It is a perfect book to use for a drama type reading, especially for ESL (English as a Second Language)students. Teachers can use this as a great tool for such a purpose. This book does not take the reader for granted, choosing instead to respect their innate intelligence. I look forward to more of the same from the author. I hope that she'll touch on some new subjects in the future such as science, math or even social studies. Either way, I look forward to including this great book in my everyday curriculum.

It's not just for kids

With wonderful poems, this book brings to life words we hear every day and whose powerful meanings sometimes get lost. This is a beautifully illustrated and well written book children will want to hear again and again, but don't be afraid to share it with the adults in your life too.
