I love this ABC book. It's just so positive and I love the bold colors and art style. I'm a fat person myself and very sensitive to the depiction of pigs in children's books and this is a great positive depiction.

I think this would be a good book for a storytime or playgroup about self esteem/sense of self/feelings. The alphabet element is a bonus.

A simple book with colorful illustrations that celebrates our uniqueness in ABC style. This could lead into a great writing project where students mirror the format with their own wonderful traits.

ABC I Like Me! by Nancy Carlson is the follow up to I Like Me! Harriet and I haven't read the original book so I can't comment on how well ABC I Like Me! complements the original.
ABC I Like Me! is an alphabetical list of positive messages. Harriet liked listing off the letters of the alphabet but was disinterested in the rest of the book. She has a pretty strong self esteem so the messages aren't so much self affirming as obvious.
For young kids who do need a boost, ABC I Like Me! is charming and not overly saccharine. For fans of Nancy Carlson's books, it can be skipped for books with more plot.

This book rocks! A little pig goes on about how she loves her mind, body and spirit (in non-hippie terms). She even loves her round, pink belly- important in our fat phobic, sexist society! Teach your children to love themselves young.
