This fun-loving book shows kids that, in a world where fitting in is the norm, being different makes us special.
The kids in What I Like About Me! are as different as night and day. And guess what? They love it. Some adore the fact that their braces dazzle and gleam, others feel distinguished when they wear their glasses. Still others wouldn't trade their big feet for a lifetime of free video games. A mylar mirror embedded in the last page lets kids take a look at themselves and decide what they like best about themselves.
Miki Yamamoto has had a passion for creating art ever since she was given her first sketch book at a young age. This led her to Long Beach State University, where she graduated with a B.F.A in illustration. She has worked as an artist for Hallmark Cards, Disney, and Amscan Party. She also has been given the opportunity to illustrate many books that feature the important themes of diversity and inclusion. Currently, she resides in Southern California with her wigglebutt Aussie, Bella.
