Inspire kids to love and celebrate themselves with Harriet's quest to find the perfect drawing subject.
Harriet and her classmates each have to draw a picture of something they love. Harriet loves unicorns, barbecue chip sundaes, and tubas . . . but those are already taken. With a little support and encouragement from her family, Harriet finally decides on the perfect thing to draw. Herself!
I Love Harriet Kippley is a sweet, humorous, lively, and charming read-aloud with a simple message of self-affirmation. Harriet's search to find something special and unique to draw can help start conversations with kids about developing self-confidence and recognizing personal strengths.
A section at the back of the book offers discussion questions to help kids develop self-awareness and kindness to themselves and others, learn to manage frustration, ask for help, and celebrate their own unique qualities.
I Love Harriet Kippley is a 2025 National Parenting Product Award Winner and a 2024 NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite, Children's-Fiction.
