I Am Me: Little Affirmations for Big Feelings is a toddler's guide to naming feelings and finding calm. Born from real-life moments of connection, this heartfelt book supports toddlers and caregivers through the ups and downs of emotional development - using gentle affirmations, playful rhyme, and co-regulation techniques rooted in love.
Thoughtfully designed for ages 2-5, each page combines early language development with emotional literacy. Toddlers learn to name what they feel and explore what helps them feel better - whether it's stomping like an elephant, breathing together, offering a hug, or simply being held.
Inside, you'll find:
10 affirmations written in a soothing, rhythmic rhyme
Relatable daycare scenes with diverse characters and gentle watercolor art
"Try this together" prompts that model co-regulation and grounding techniques
"Affirmation Insights" for grown-ups - explaining the science behind each practice
A gentle reflection space for early gratitude and self-expression
A warm welcome letter (Dear Grown-Up) and a closing note to encourage families to Keep Blooming
Created with caregivers in mind, this book is more than a story - it's a calming tool, a connection ritual, and a meaningful first step in your child's social-emotional journey.
Because when toddlers feel safe in their bodies and secure in their relationships, they grow with confidence, kindness, and calm.
