An adorable children’s book, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my baby son. As a Mama to two, possibly three kiddos with Autism, I loved how inclusive the language is and is encouraging us both to all be gentle with ourselves about our multitude of feelings and also to be kind and inclusive with one another. Beautifully illustrated and a delight to read about the different emotions.

The author, herself a mother of five children, really gets to the heart of what makes us diverse and why it's special to appreciate our uniqueness. I love the wide variety of human qualities that are celebrated including being clumsy, a picky eater, bossy, or quiet. Not good or bad, just ways we are or feel at times.

This is such an inclusive, colorfully illustrated book, that will be perfect for storytime or bedtime readings. I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries.

These ABCs Belong to Me! is an empowering alphabet book that encourages readers to reclaim words often seen as negative, like “bossy,” “clumsy,” and “picky.” The illustrations are vibrant and diverse, bringing the message to life. The book teaches children that we are more than the labels others may place on us. However, I do wonder if younger readers might misinterpret some of the words or use them in ways we don’t want them to describe themselves, such as “obnoxious.” This book might be better suited for older elementary students, perhaps in a restorative practice setting or as part of a discussion about labels in the classroom. It’s a great tool for encouraging reflection and conversation about self-worth. Thanks to NetGalley and The Collective Book Studio for the ARC!

I love the illustrations, and how positive the descriptions for each word are! But for some words, that is also a problem, as it doesn't allow them to be accurately described. For example, I can see a child not grasping the full meaning of "obnoxious" and going around using the word to describe themselves.

Overall, a great book for children to learn some new adjectives and have fun choosing which ones match them :)

It’s a really charming book with a message that’s just as delightful. However, some of the vocabulary and the way certain definitions are presented might be confusing for young children. My only concern is that kids may start using words like "bossy" or "impulsive" without fully understanding what they mean. That being said, I do think the overall message is positive and worthwhile!

What a great read! I loved the different adjectives to describe children in many different unique ways!
I read this with my Pre-K class and each child related to a different page.

This is perfect! My daughter has recently started her reading journey, so I have added a few books to my ipad mini for her to read on kindle when on the go. She loves them! This one was so cute. The pages were a bit weird on kindle at first, but after some formatting it was a bit easier to read.
