I Like Myself

Hardcover 32 Pages
From School Library Journal-
This curly haired African-American moppet really likes herself. No matter what she
does, wherever she goes, or what others think of her, she likes herself because, as she
says, "I'm ME!"
Catrow's watercolor, ink, and pencil illustrations bring even
more humor to the funny verse. The brightly colored art and rhymes are reminiscent of Dr.
Seuss's work with their quirky absurdity, especially the full spread of the child and her
highly unusual bicycle. Even with "
stinky toes/or horns protruding from my
nose," her dog loves her unconditionally. She is so full of joy that readers will
love her, tooeven when she has purple polka-dotted lips
A great addition.
