I'm Glad I'm Me Celebrate the JOY of being You!

Teaching children about important concepts such as gratitude, kindness, and reflection is easy with these reader-friendly interactive books!

I’m Glad I’m Me offers children the chance to reflect on what makes them special and loved by their friends and family, and what they can share with them. The book explores what you can learn at school and from your mistakes, asking the child to write, draw, color, or share what they’re good at, things they do to help at school and home, what makes them happy, and much more.

Providing a book such as this for children to learn what it means to contemplate positive shared life experiences is exactly what can help set up good habits early on. These books are also a great way for kids to have fun and entertain themselves, for busy Moms and Dads!

Most importantly the I’m Glad… series is encouraging children to be creative, contemplative, and they are a fun way to learn about who they are, and the people closest to them, cementing these lovely family memories forever.
 

Cathy Phelan is an author, teacher, and photographer. Teaching and photography have provided Cathy with many happy years working with children, but it’s her series of I’m Glad… children’s books that are currently her biggest passion. The idea of I’m Glad… originated after a lovely sentiment written in a birthday card given to Cathy by her Mum… it set the series in motion. Cathy has combined the idea of engaging children into the reading process—cementing what they are reading—with the important notion of appreciating loved ones, and she is onto a great concept.
