About In The Mirror
Product Description In The Mirroris an inspiring book of self-affirmation for children. It tells the story of two siblings who embrace themselves for who they are and appreciate the little things that make them stand out. From their sweaty, wrinkly brows and their curious little eyes, all the way to their strong little chins, these two little kids see the goodness in everything! This book will teach kids the values of resilience, self-acceptance, and positivity. If you are looking for a book that will help grow strong, confident little boys and girls, this is it. Review Two siblings embrace their own self-worth in this picture book. Two brown-skinned, curly-haired siblings start their day looking in the mirror. In first-person narration, each says: “I just love what I see….” Beginning with that positive self-image―that their reflections are beautiful―the rhyming text continues describing how each part of the face shows an aspect of the child’s character. A wrinkled, sweaty brow represents both fun and hard work. Between the kids’ ears are always-working brains; their eyes are filled with visions of future dreams; and their noses smell “my greatness.” While they experience setbacks―an embarrassing grade, a scraped chin―the children know they have powerful voices and walk with pride. Ferguson’s smooth, rhyming stanzas employ imaginative turns of phrase and use facial features to evoke more than just the common senses associated with eyes, ears, and noses. Instead, they showcase emotions, accomplishments, and creativity to excellent effect. A few words (embarrassed, defined) may help stretch the vocabularies of emerging readers. Aryutova’s cartoon illustrations are at once realistic and whimsical, deftly capturing the emotional intent of the rhymes and creating two incredibly likable protagonists. Athletics, the sciences, the visual and performing arts, and innovative play are all portrayed as virtuous parts of the lives of the protagonists, showcasing well-rounded likes and dreams sure to appeal to a wide range of readers. From the first page to the last, this inventive, beautifully illustrated tale affirms a child’s value. --Kirkus Starred Review picture book In The Mirror expresses the beauty of self-acceptance and positivity while building healthy views of people as individuals. Fabian E. Ferguson’s vibrant children’s picture book In the Mirror promotes self-love, positivity, and individuality. This lilting, rhythmic narration follows two siblings contemplating their reflections in the bathroom mirror as they prepare for bed. By examining each facial feature―their brows, ears, eyes, noses, cheeks, mouths, and chins―and the different expressions they make with them that are connected to specific emotions, the brother and sister explore their strengths. They also discuss the endless possibilities that lay ahead for them, and acknowledge their victories and mistakes, commenting on how both experiences can help them to grow, and to learn to love themselves even more. With its dialed-in focus on acceptance for what people find both inside and outside of themselves, In the Mirror is a confidence-building text. Through its imagery and narration, it imparts pride in who people are and what they look like, encouraging the audience, too, to hold their heads up high, no matter what their unique, beautiful faces face in the world. In the digestible copy, emphasis is placed on hard work, putting forth effort, learning and trying new things, expressing creativity, and accepting challenges, whether one succeeds or fails at them. The activities highlighted include homework, athletic feats, art projects, imaginative playtime, and scientific experimentation, all of which are encouraged through indirect means. By highlighting positive and negative experiences and a wide range of emotions, Ferguson advocates the acceptance of everything that one feels. The goal is for children to understand that what they see and feel in themse
