Summary

Jazmyn Simon's debut is a moving love letter to children struggling to accept themselves inside and out--exactly as they are。 This gorgeous picture book was inspired by a conversation between the author and her daughter。

I was shown all the smiles in the entire world。 I looked at all of the many bright smiles until I found my favorite: your smile。

After comparing herself to other little girls， Irie confides in her mama that she feels something is wrong with her， that she's not perfect as she is。 And so Irie's mama tells the magical story of how Irie was intentionally and wonderfully made。 In fact， Irie is made up of all her mother's favorite things: sparkling eyes， a bright smile， and a kind heart。

Actor and activist Jazmyn Simon's tender picture book emphasizes the unique beauty and strength of all children， encouraging them to love their most perfect selves。

This book is one every parent needs to read to their child。 Reassuring a child that they are the perfect version of them means the world。 The girl in the story wanted to change her hair because it isn't like everyone else's hair。 Her mom basically said， "Okay， but I special ordered you from God。" I mean， it makes your heart melt。 Beautiful illustrations add to the spectacular story。 This book is one every parent needs to read to their child。 Reassuring a child that they are the perfect version of them means the world。 The girl in the story wanted to change her hair because it isn't like everyone else's hair。 Her mom basically said， "Okay， but I special ordered you from God。" I mean， it makes your heart melt。 Beautiful illustrations add to the spectacular story。 。。。more

Actress Jazmyn Simon created Most Perfect You as a way for helping families as they help others to come to accept and like themselves。 Simon's story and the illustrations of Tamisha Anthony help to celebrate the beauty in everyone。 Actress Jazmyn Simon created Most Perfect You as a way for helping families as they help others to come to accept and like themselves。 Simon's story and the illustrations of Tamisha Anthony help to celebrate the beauty in everyone。 。。。more

Digital illustrations complement a story of empowerment and self-acceptance inspired by the author's experiences with her own daughter。 When Irie comes downstairs with a wooly hat covering her hair even though it's a warm summer day， her mother questions her about it。 Irie confesses that she hates her hair because it isn't like the hair of the other girls she knows。 But Momma is quick to reassure Irie that she's perfect just the way she is， inside and outside。 She tells her daughter that she cho Digital illustrations complement a story of empowerment and self-acceptance inspired by the author's experiences with her own daughter。 When Irie comes downstairs with a wooly hat covering her hair even though it's a warm summer day， her mother questions her about it。 Irie confesses that she hates her hair because it isn't like the hair of the other girls she knows。 But Momma is quick to reassure Irie that she's perfect just the way she is， inside and outside。 She tells her daughter that she chose her favorite color for her skin as well as selecting just-right hair， eyes， nose， smile， and some other special qualities， including a kind and loving heart。 After this sweet story， Irie looks into the mirror and sees that she is the sum of all the things her mother wanted， and she can feel proud of whom she is and her unique qualities。 After all， they were exactly what her mother wanted and they make her special。 The illustrations consist of some large pages showing the mother and daughter interacting as well as flying across the sky。 The use of small drawings of Irie and those other girls and their hair helps readers understand Irie's initial emotions， making this story quite relatable。 After all， why would anyone want to simply be a cookie-cutter version of everyone else or even someone famous。 Being comfortable in one's own skin and embracing one's own qualities are what matters。 This picture book would be a good one to share with youngsters during their formative years as well as with a young class on the first day of school。 Being true to oneself and embracing what makes someone different matter。 。。。more

I loved the message of this book and the body positivity。 I loved the "Black Girl Joy。" I was just a tad uncomfortable with the aspect of the mom talking to God and picking out what she wanted in her child。 But I do see how it works for the storyline。 I loved the message of this book and the body positivity。 I loved the "Black Girl Joy。" I was just a tad uncomfortable with the aspect of the mom talking to God and picking out what she wanted in her child。 But I do see how it works for the storyline。 。。。more

“…all the parts that made you you， were specially chosen。 You are all of my favorite things。” Those sentences made me tear up。 What a beautiful book that showcases a little girls beauty。

This is a cute， charming book。

Very sweet。

The cover of this book is just so adorable， I couldn't resist。 The child depicted is just gorgeous。 No child， regardless of how they look， should feel bad about their looks。 The child in this books has worries about her hair， it's different from that of her friends， and her mother wastes no time in reassuring her。The book is a message book， and it's heavy on the message。 But as I said， no child should feel bad about how they look。 If this book will help with that， then I can try to ignore the he The cover of this book is just so adorable， I couldn't resist。 The child depicted is just gorgeous。 No child， regardless of how they look， should feel bad about their looks。 The child in this books has worries about her hair， it's different from that of her friends， and her mother wastes no time in reassuring her。The book is a message book， and it's heavy on the message。 But as I said， no child should feel bad about how they look。 If this book will help with that， then I can try to ignore the heavy-handedness。 One more caveat; the mother says how she had a conversation with God （presumably the Christian one， though it's not directly addressed）。 For some readers， that will be a plus while for some it will be a negative， and some won't care。The artwork is lovely and showcases the text beautifully。 The facial expressions are exquisite and the colors are a mix of pastels and jewel tones。 Each page evokes emotions and furthers the story。A good concept， lovely art， and sweet， thoughtful dialogue make for a story that， while not completely engaging， is lovely to look at and one that should spark conversations。 。。。more

A wonderful ode from a mother to a child。 Irie is ashamed of her hair being different then others at school。 When her mother hears this， she tells Irie how she is made of all her favorite things。 With magical pictures and encouraging words， this book is a wonderful gift to a mother or child in how to celebrate their uniqueness through unconditional love。
