5.0 out of 5 stars This book is fantastic!, June 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: I Believe in Me: A Book of Affirmations (Paperback)

I Believe in Me actually deserves a 10 star rating! The combination of simple, universal affirmations and colorful, friendly illustrations create a very positive, easy to read and spiritually uplifting book. I just bought a copy of this book for every niece and nephew in my family and had Amazon.com ship them throughout the country. Anyone looking for a beautifully simple, creative and inspiring children's book, do your child (and yourself) a favor and get this one. You'll want to read it over and over again. Thank you Connie for positively touching the lives of so many!

This review is from: I Believe in Me: A Book of Affirmations (Paperback)

This book is superbly uplifting through the happy, imaginative drawings, and the absolute uplifting affirmations. The drawings are captivating to young eyes and hearts, and the affirmations are simple, happy, creative. This is a gift that will more than entertain the child you love. It will guide that growing being into self-confidence and into love for life and all in it. By the way, this book isn't too shabby for an adult's inner child!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awonderful healing book to raise self esteem in your child., July 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: I Believe in Me: A Book of Affirmations (Paperback)

Or indeed in yourself. The simple, yet profound, affirmations are accompanied by gorgeous, colourful images of the soul undertaking positive activities - my son's favourite is the image of the spirit skipping down a waterfall to the affirmation "I am free to be me", while my own favourite is the soul resting in a circle of protection, supported by two angels (my son used to think they were mummy & daddy) accompanied by the text "I am safe". A lovely book that has stood the test of time over several years in our family.
