I like the way this book is written. It explains things so clearly to children - Starting with "What is Self-esteem", "Be your own best self", "Your own best friend", "A friend to others", etc. It is written from a Godly point of view but not "preachy". It is a good one to read to your kids and discuss. The whole "Elf-help" book series is really good and so worth getting. My copy is paper-back and about 32 pages (full page pictures every other page - they are cute). It really is a good book.

Added 10/2011 I still love this book! Here are each page title (again, with full page picture opposite)
1 What Is Self-esteem?
2 Who Are You?
3 Everyone Is Different - and Special!
4 You Are a Gift to the World (The world needs all kinds of people with all kinds of gifts...)
5 Be Your Own Best Self
6 Be Your Own Best Friend
7 Be a Friend to Others
8 When Things Change (If you have a big change in your life...)
9 Loving Your Family
10 Making Mistakes
11 Having a Bad Day
12 Be True to You
13 Stick up for Yourself
14 You've Come a Long Way

I bought this for my nephew who's 7 and is dealing with issues of self-esteem/ confidence. The book presents it's points and advice in a way that is easily assimilated. I'm extremely happy with the purchase as it fit my needs and was shipped in a timely manner.

All these books published by Elf are helpful to raising kids who are more secure, hopeful, and empowered. Any kid with there parents to would benifit by having this book and talking about it together. Good getting to know you kid for parents.

These books are nicely done for children and helps them see themselves as being special. I would recommend most of the books by this author.

I like the content and intent of this book. With this book and other similar to it, I treat it as any other book I might give him to read. That seems to make it more acceptable to him than if I single it out and make a big deal over it. It speaks well to my 8 yr. old and certainly is information I like for him to have.
