PICTURE STORY BOOKS ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM


TRUE STORIES OF SELF-ESTEEM

by Gary Lewis

'Jessica finds her true Value' is a second edition revamp of 'Jessica's Special Buttons'. (see picture below)

was my first picture story book to focus on SADNESS linked to SELF-WORTH and VALUE. This book can be used as either a prequel or sequel to the second book 'Jackson Uncovers Hidden Treasure' as well as 'Olivia's Jar of Pickled Inspiration'

The ideas and concepts shared within these three books have a proven history of positive outcomes, as they are based on true life stories of many children with whom I worked during my time as a Primary School Chaplain.



All three books can be read by students, parents and teachers as a tool for building healthy self-esteem in children.

Each book contains a link to the teacher resource ideas for CIRCLE TIME & extended curricular activities.

Jessica finds her true Value


Jessica felt sad … but she did not know why.

Perhaps … she could talk to her Grandma.

Whilst visiting her Grandma, something incredible happens as she makes a surprising discovery. 

She discovers a strange collection of objects in her Grandma's apron pocket. And then amazingly, Jessica’s sadness seems to disappear as she learns a valuable lesson about herself.


JACKSON UNCOVERS HIDDEN TREASURE

Jackson felt sad…but he did not know why.
He needed to tell someone how he was feeling. 
Perhaps…he could talk to his Grandpa.

Whilst on a fishing trip with his Grandpa, something interesting happens. 


Not only does he discover that his Grandpa has a secret treasure box in his fishing pack…Jackson’s sadness seems to disappear as he learns a valuable lesson about himself.
