Con un lenguaje sencillo una historia que enseña a los niños a observar en detalle cada una de sus cualidades y aprender a quererse y aceptarse.

Bendrai visa Trace Moroney knygelių serija ("Kai jaučiuosi piktas", "Kai jaučiuosi geras", "Kai jaučiu pavydą" ir t.t.) yra puiki ir labai gerai tinkanti mažų vaikų susipažinimui su emocijomis.
Tačiau būtent ši serijos knygelė mane nuvylė.
Nežinau, ar mano pastabos susijusios su vertimu, ar originaliu tekstu, bet:
ši knyga skirta visai mažiems vaikams ir remiasi pozityvios psichologijos principais, todėl labai nustebau radusi joje tiek neiginių ir prastai suformuluotų sakinių, kaip antai:
"man NEBLOGAI sekasi", "esu tikrai NEBLOGAS vaikis", "NIEKAS kitas visame pasaulyje NESUGEBĖTŲ būti manimi" ir (labiausiai man nepatikęs) "LABIAUSIAI TIKIUOSI SAVIMI NENUSIVILTI"...
Jeigu skaityčiau šią knygą savo vaikams, tikrai keisčiau jos tekstą - kai vaikai buvo maži, aš taip dažnai darydavau, norėdama perduoti jiems TEISINGAS mintis. Pavyzdžiui, skaitydama šią knygelę jos frazes keisčiau į "man sekasi GERAI" (man visai gerai sekasi), "mes visi skirtingi ir aš esu vienintelis toks / vienintelė tokia pasaulyje", "aš esu / būsiu LAIMINGAS / LAIMINGA" ar pan....
Žinoma, knygelėje yra puikių žodžių, pavyzdžiui:
"Aš patinku sau toks, koks esu. (...) Mėgstu būti linksmas ir šypsotis. (...) Būdamas geras kitiems ir pats jaučiuosi puikiai. (...)"

I think the book was definitely a good book made for younger children. One of the things I think the book was about was to always show confidence in yourself and know there’s something special about you no one else has and to always remember that. That’s an important message to send to children. They’ll need to remember that as they go through their ups and downs. As we all know, childhood is a very rough time of life. I like the content and purpose of this book.

An excellent follow-on to the book When I'm Feeling Lonely (or Sad), this volume can help the child (or even the adult) reader focus on the things they are good at, that people like about them, or that they can share with others. Lovely illustrations as always.

Not bad, just didn't hit me the way some of the other self esteem books are.

a must read to every child.

Not much plot but the message is beautiful and worthwhile. It equates loving yourself both with self (what I am good at) and other (how I relate).
Children seem to enjoy reading it and talking about it

It was very good. I loved reading it. I really like the pictures especially the one when she was making ice cream.

The preachy little "confidence" bit in the middle was out of place in a book for young children. The message is good, but the wording was odd.

I liked that some of the "things" were characteristics like being a good friend.
