What are People Saying about the Book?

Naomi Books, LLC

Well, the title says it all! Three cheers for being special, unique, and truly one-of-a-kind! This is exactly the message we want to teach our children—that there is no one just like them!

These days, we are seeing more books with affirming messages written for children. That’s certainly needed. So, when a book comes along that tells children a story that reminds them about individuality, dreams and purpose…

I feel happy!

There’s No One Just Like Me is one little girl’s story, but what I love is that it could be any child’s story. The author shares her story - where she grew up, her family, what she dreamed of as a little girl and what she ultimately became as a grownup. Young readers can follow her life and imagine their own, every step of the way. Did her dreams come true? Will mine?

I love how she shares something about different stages of her life from kindergarten through graduation, but along the way she reminds children, "You and I have a story that is different in every way! We are all very special and so each of us can say, 'Gosh, oh, gee! I’m as happy as can be! There’s no one else in ALL the world who’s just like me!'” (It’s very catchy! Kids will love it.)

The author is right. There is only one ME and there is only one YOU. This message encourages children to not only love and appreciate themselves, but to learn about and respect others and their life’s journey, too. I recommend this for story time, parents and teachers. It’s a quick, easy read, but I can definitely see some learning activities coming from this book. Get your copy today on Amazon!
