The Exploring Me Series - All Three Books

The way children see themselves becomes part of who they become.

Long before children have words like identity, self-worth, or belonging, they are already beginning to understand who they are, what makes them special, what they might become, and how they fit into the world around them.

The Exploring Me Series is a beautifully illustrated three-book children's series created for those early years.

Through playful rhyme, imagination, and gentle reflection, the series gives young children and the grown-ups who love them a simple way to explore some of life's earliest and most important questions:

What I See — Who am I?
A playful journey of self-discovery that encourages children to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the wonderful person looking back at them.

I Could Be — Who might I become?
An invitation to imagine, dream, and explore a world of possibility while discovering the freedom to be uniquely themselves.

Love Is Me — How am I connected?
A gentle exploration of love — within ourselves, between one another, and throughout the world around us — that introduces ideas of empathy, compassion, connection, and belonging.

Together, the books move from seeing yourself, to imagining yourself, to connecting with others.

Created for ages 0–7+, The Exploring Me Series helps nurture the beginnings of self-awareness, self-love, confidence, imagination, individuality, empathy, and belonging — not by telling children who they should be, but by giving them space to discover it for themselves.

The complete three-book collection includes:
What I See · I Could Be · Love Is Me

A series about:
Self-discovery · Self-love · Identity · Imagination · Confidence · Individuality · Empathy · Connection · Belonging · Social-emotional learning
