Perfect: A Self-Love Adventure (PDF)
by Suzanne WyldeWe are all a little bit different and all perfect in our own special way! Come on an adventure with lively characters in a range of settings from nature, to space, to dance studios, doing fun exercises as you go. The children you'll meet in this book are black, white, Asian, South American and Indigenous American. Some of what makes them special includes a limb difference, using a wheelchair, a port-wine stain, visual impairment and a cleft palate. However the book is not about this, it is all about acceptance, resilience and self-love. The characters love and accept their unique bodies, enjoy movement, know they are perfect, accept difficult situations, work through emotions and know that love is there whenever and wherever they need it. Your child will love spending time with them! Review from an advance reader: ‘My husband and I are both British Born Chinese and we are now parents to an almost 2-year old toddler. Both my husband and I absolutely loved growing up in this country but we both grew up questioning our identity for at least part of our childhood because of our culture and how different we looked to all of our other friends. Now we are parents, we’ve been thinking ourselves about how to talk about these important themes of culture and diversity with our extremely chatty daughter and ‘Perfect’ is the first book I have read to her about these topics. Although she’s only 2, I was personally really impressed at how much she engaged with this book from the first read. The pictures are beautiful, colourful and original and the text engaging and thoughtfully and sensitively put together. As with ‘open-ended’ toys, I see this book also as being ‘open-ended’ - at a younger age you can use it for vocabulary, the rhymes and to look at pictures and colours. As my daughter gets older, I can see myself using this to ask her questions about the various scenarios being presented, to reflect on how different characters might be feeling and how we might react ourselves if we were in their position. The activities in the book as well as the colouring sheets are also genius ways of making the book even more fun and to reinforce the learning! ‘Perfect’ is a great book that offers a safe space for ourselves and our daughter to start having these important and sensitive conversations about diversity, self-acceptance and emotional regulation. It deserves a space on every child’s bookcase and I know that we will be revisiting this book with our daughter time and time again.’ - Lily Lai And for adults who would like to explore similar topics but in a much more in-depth way, have a look at The Art of Coming Home.
