#ImToo Eric Desio

#ImToo - The story of Minnie and friends, who just like you, think they might also be too. Why do kids bully? What is bullying for kids?




Wonder why kids bully? #ImToo shows children to not only accept but to celebrate diversity in others and themselves!




Have you ever thought of yourself as being too....anything?




Is Minnie too skinny? Is Paul too tall? Is Mo too slow? Is Art too smart? And what is this #ImToo meetup all about?




#ImToo is a story about accepting, embracing and celebrating our differences. You'll meet Minnie and friends, who just like you, think they might also be too.




The story takes place over one week where each day we meet a character, their bullies and the different self-perception challenges they're facing. The illustrated pages give subtle clues but do not reveal the actual characters until the end of the book. When Friday arrives, illustrations of each of the characters are revealed at the #ImToo meetup in the park!




Get ready to read, because there's a great surprise waiting for you and our friends!Why do kids bully?What is bullying for kids?Teach your children self-esteemAcceptance, differences and diversity!




Review

"As a school psychologist and parent of three children, Eric DeSio's books are a must have in any library! My kids consistently choose them for their bedtime read alouds; they love the rhythmic and catchy language and creative images while I love the important messages and opportunities to teach about social emotional development and compassion. DeSio's writing voice uniquely speaks to children and parents alike, truly people of all ages!"
