Being Me: A Kid's Guide to Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem

Title: Being Me a Kid's Guide to Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem
Author: Wendy L. Moss, PhD
Publication Date: November 2010
ISBN 13: 978-1433808838

Being Me is a great book for helping kids boost their own self-esteem.  With basic definitions of confidence, self-esteem, and assertive communication, this book has the potential to help tweens change their lives.  The language is very accessible, and the inclusion of personal stories makes the examples and advice offered in this book seem realistically possible.  For example, a shy child might take hope from Melissa's story about striking up a conversation with a stranger in the line for a school lunch.  Every chapter includes questions for reflection and personal introspection.  Very well-done!
