If I Had Eleven Toes: A Children's Book about Self-Esteem

I'm happy I'm exactly ME!

Travel alongside the imaginative little girl in this silly, whimsical, poetic, laugh out loud children's book as she considers the what ifs.

What if I had a giant extra toe? Would I swing like a monkey in a zoo? Jump higher than a kangaroo? Outswim a dolphin in a pool? Or outrun all the kids at school? Would that little piggy go to the market (or eat roast beef)? Would my socks still fit?

In the end:

I'm glad I have just ten, you see.

I'm happy I'm exactly ME!

This silly, yet meaningful, picture book reminds us that our bodies are created the way we were meant to be (no matter how many toes we have), and we wouldn't want it any other way. Now it's time to celebrate it!

Poetry Likened to Shel Silverstein

"It took me back to when I was young and my uncle would read us all Shel Silverstein. I loved it! I am a huge fan of children's poetry, and it can be very hard finding well written and meaningful work. This was both." Bridget, Kindergarten Teacher
