I AM CORNELIUS is a wonderful read-aloud book with lessons in practicing self-love, gratitude, and kindness that will enrich the lives of children and adults alike. Cornelius shows us how to use these skills to build confidence and self-esteem, navigate bullying, support a friend, and regulate difficult emotions in difficult or scary circumstances. Even when he faces new challenges, with help from his parents and daily practices and affirmations, Cornelius knows deep in his heart that being himself is something to be proud of—and he feels it with love.
