About the Book
It’s All Good is a literary platform intended for parents, caregivers and teachers to begin to introduce young children to healthy ideas regarding self image. This book is also for children/students who are struggling with negative self images, which is reflected onto their family and peers. It’s All Good allows parents, caregivers and teachers to use this as a tool, to promote positive discussions. Allowing children to explore and see their self worth and value. Challenging the norms, if there are any?
Use this book as an engine to drive out old patterns and mindsets about those with dis-abilities, physical ethnic characteristics, and those of different sizes/shapes. “It’s All Good” is to be used to build up positive self images, fostering a global community who appreciates and respects differences, while at the same time finding and rejoicing in our commonalities.
