Through a series of letters that begin with, "Dear Me," a young child writes down his feelings. These letters allow him to recognize that he can change how he feels while practicing self-kindness and compassion.</p><p><br></p><p>Dear Me</em> serves as a guide to help kids learn about expressing feelings, understanding those feelings, and then deciding what to do about them in ways that are healthy, helpful, and kind.

In the wonderful picture book Dear Me, author, educator, and journalist Donna Tetreault does so with great clarity as she helps children develop a sense of control and self-determination about their emotions. She turns elusive abstractions into very understandable constructs children can really relate to. Her loving and compassionate nature graces every page. Well done Donna."</em> <strong>- "Dr. Phil" McGraw</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Empathy is the immensely human trait that helps children understand that we are all humans who share the same fears and concerns and deserve to be treated with dignity. Dear Me teaches children how to have empathy for themselves and that in turn allows them to be empathetic to others. I LOVE this book. How I wish every parent had a copy - what a difference it would make on our children's lives."</em> <strong>-Michele Borba, Ed.D., author of <em>Thrivers: The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine</em></strong></p><br>
