I am Awesome! Hardcover book

Praise for I am Awesome!

I am AWESOME! is a much-needed book for young children, aimed at building self-esteem while addressing the presence of struggles and strategies to get through them. The diversity and representation in the illustrations make this book relatable across the board and one that should be on every child’s bookshelf.

Representation matters! This book absolutely hits the mark on being inclusive with a vibrant and colourful representation of people’s awesomeness. The reaction on my son’s face when he sees someone who is Indigenous in a children’s book is priceless, “That’s Me!” he says. Paula is part of the beautiful shift happening right now in education and literacy that is celebrating Indigenous people. We have been invisible for far too long and it’s time for the world to know that we too are awesome.

This is the most inclusive book I have ever read, and I have read a lot of books that are trying to be inclusive. It’s so well put together, and it would be so good for kids who don’t know who they are yet, for everyone young and old.

 I am Awesome! is another beautifully written book by Paula Audrey Rivero that empowers the next generation to know, feel, and celebrate their awesome. As a registered nurse, a mother and a founder of an organization that supports youth mental health, I am grateful for Paula’s words that help us refocus not on what needs fixing in youth, but what is already there and worth celebrating.
