My Review

My Rating: 5 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads

I was granted complimentary access to What Makes Me…Me by Anne Baldwin as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with iRead Book Tours. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

What Makes Me…Me is a cute picture book all about how awesome our brains are, no matter how typically or uniquely they function, and features kids with tic disorders, vision needs, etc. Bravo! I love the fact that this book is both normalizing differences and getting kids interested in the potentially very difficult to grasp idea that our thoughts and consciousness come from this thing inside our heads that we can’t see.

The illustrations are bright, colourful, and fun, and the formatting has allowed for readable space for the text without interrupting the beautiful artwork.
