Description
Book Synopsis"Relays a story underscoring the importance of self-respect and confidence." - Publishers Weekly "This book focuses on the protagonist Macie's perceptions of herself. She starts off as a secure, confident young girl until she meets a girl named Penelope who makes her start doubting her beauty. Using a mirror was a helpful way for the illustrator/author to get students to start thinking about the ways they perceive themselves. Self-love is important and this book will help motivate little girls to feel good about themselves." - Josiah Quincy Upper School Good enough was never good enough for Macie. She wanted to be the best. Until the day Macie took a look in the mirror and learned a very important lesson . . . A story about self-respect and confidence, for not-so-perfect kids ages 4 years and up. Guided Reading Level I "Macie is a girl, who wants to be the very, very best. Things get tough when a new girl starts at her school. She talks to her mirror and to her dad and the story shows that as long as you love yourself, things are just fine! The illustrations were quite lovely and the story covers the kind of things I want my daughters to know now at a young age. Very well done" - Lioness of Literacy
Trade Review"Relays a story underscoring the importance of self-respect and confidence." - Publishers Weekly "Macie's Mirror is a great book for promoting self-confidence. Her dad teaches her the message that loving herself is the most important thing she can do. The pictures are cute and the text is short but effective. This is a great read for any kid really but especially one that is struggling with self-confidence." - Julie Valora - Librarian "Good story that talk about accepting yourself and not being jealous of others. Simple, well done, true/possible events that kids can rely to. Well done!" - Etienne Breton "This book is wonderful! A great book to show that we don’t always have an accurate perception of who we truly are, and that self love is important. A very powerful message in a concise book." - Chelsea Yerex
