It’s Read Your World Day and I want to share a wonderful picture book filled with joy and encouragement.
FANTASTIC YOU

The story begins…
There’s one special person I’m always with…
Can you guess who?
This beautifully written picture book shares encouraging suggestions to help young readers appreciate themselves and find ways to develop a positive mindset. By seeing the book’s characters engaging in familiar activities such as teeth brushing, shooting hoops, and taking a bubble bath, readers will learn how to show love and kindness and to see how special they are. Positive ways to deal with disappointments, mistakes, and sadness that all children experience are practical, helpful, and doable. In addition, children can clearly see that they have their own unique gifts that make them special and fantastic.
The illustrations are glorious! From the shiny cover to each illuminated page depicting a multicultural children and their families, readers will see themselves and their friends in the pages.
