AUTHOR Bio and Links:

 

Patricia Brioux is not a New York Times, Amazon Top 100, or a USA Today bestselling author, but she is the daughter of two rock-star parents, the youngest of six kids, and the FUN aunt to eight crazy little kiddos who just love to keep her on her toes. This is her first published literary work, and to be honest that both excites and terrifies the heck out of her. Through this process she hopes to learn, become more confident, and, who knows, maybe one day work alongside some of the greats like Nora Roberts, Kennedy Ryan, and Kelly Elliott.

My review:

 

3.75 of 5 stars

 

 

I Am Awesome, written by Patricia Brioux and illustrated by Floyd Yamyamin, is an inspirational children’s book that is filled with vivid drawings that demonstrate positive affirmations using a variety of young cultural representatives.

 

I love the encouraging images that are colorful and intricate and will be excellent conversational gambits, and it’s fantastic that the characters are so inclusive . I think a short introductory paragraph aimed at older readers might be helpful because I was confused when I first started the book, thinking I had missed a page to explain what was going on. For me, some of the scenarios aren’t quite self-explanatory without the words, so that seems a bit contradictory to the book starting without an introduction, but perhaps the book is designed to evoke questions. This is a lovely and thoughtful book that is short enough to keep the attention of young children, and a great tool to promote positive self-images and inclusivity.
