Children have wonderful imaginations, as the story of Belle in this book shows. Still, no matter what age we get to, it is hard to stay creative when we are hungry, upset, lonely or tired. When Belle gets that way, she just isn’t herself and she can turn into a Harumph. Myself Today will inspire pre-school aged readers and their grown-up friends to practice self-care, helping each other to build resilience and face life’s stresses, big and small. The book includes a recipe to make hummus or a variation of a tasty, nourishing snack.
