Book of the Year 2018 by Creative Child Magazine.

This rhyming bedtime story for ages 3 to 8 follows the adventures of Ellie as she falls in and out of love with herself. This tale reminds children to be their true self and to love the body they have. The book ends with Ellie’s Bedtime Body Scan, a progressive relaxation exercise to help children relax, to love and appreciate their own bodies and to fall gently to sleep.

"We love this book. The story and the artwork both brings a smile and teaches a lesson; it accomplishes this for us and our son. For decades, there has been research on the importance of teaching emotional intelligence to children as early as possible. As new parents, we wondered how to do this and instill values such as openness, mindfulness, and acceptance (of yourself and of others). Andrew Newman's book series accomplishes this beautifully wrapped in delightful artwork and wonderful stories with a lesson." RichM, Parent.

There is something about Ellie that people just fall in love with. She stretches across age groups, delighting the readers.
