by Shauna Shapiro (Author), Susi Schaefer (Illustrator)
By saying "Good morning, I love you" to herself each day, a young girl changes her negative self-talk and embraces happiness.
When Violet and her classmates are taught to say "Good morning, I love you" to improve their happiness, she's skeptical. How will saying she loves herself change anything? But with the encouragement of her friends and the kindness of her mother, Violet gives it a try. With it, she learns to counter her negative self-talk, embrace self-love, and feel genuinely happy.Author Biography
