NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From parents and actors Jazmyn Simon and Dulé Hill comes a picture book filled with beautiful, inspiring affirmations reminding kiddos of their infinite wonder. Perfect for children of any age!

I am worthy. I am loved. I am enough.
Every child, no matter their age, needs to know how loved they are and, more importantly, should love themselves. In this gorgeously illustrated book of affirmations, young readers are told how cherished, deserving, and gifted they are.

In their tender picture book, actors Jazmyn Simon and Dulé Hill tell children about the magic of self-love and standing firm, regardless of outside voices and doubt. Children will feel their confidence grow as they repeat the encouraging words on the page, take in the warm illustrations, and learn to believe in themselves!
Jazmyn Simon is an actor, activist, and mother. She is the author of Most Perfect You and the coauthor of Repeat After Me, with her husband, Dulé Hill. Raised in Northern California, Jazmyn began pursuing acting during college at the University of Nevada. She later moved to Chicago and joined the improv troupe Second City. Jazmyn rose to fame on HBO’s hit dramedy Ballers, starring The Rock. On the big screen, she has starred in Tyler Perry’s Acrimony, among many other films. Most recently, Jazmyn appeared in the Netflix series Raising Dion. Jazmyn lives in L.A. with her husband and their two children. Visit Jazmyn on Instagram at @jazmynsimon. View titles by Jazmyn Simon
Dulé Hill is an actor, writer, and father. He is the coauthor of Repeat After Me, with his wife, Jazmyn Simon. Dulé is best known for his roles on The West Wing, for which he received an Emmy nomination, and on the comedy-drama Psych. Most recently, he starred in the remake of The Wonder Years. Dulé is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild Hollywood Board of Directors. Dulé lives in L.A. with his wife and their two children. Visit Dulé on Instagram at @dulehill. View titles by Dulé Hill
Shamar Knight-Justice is an illustrator and educator based in Atlanta. He is most content eating pancakes, seeing kids explore their imaginations, and going on long walks with his wife and dog. He is also the illustrator of Ari J.'s Kinky, Curly Crown. Visit him online at www.shamarknightjustice.com. View titles by Shamar Knight-Justice
"The verse is warm and encouraging, reminding little ones of their worth. Depicting scenes ranging from birthday parties to playgrounds to fields of flowers, Knight-Justice’s digital illustrations have a collagelike look, incorporating written text and bits of sheet music; they have a DIY feel that may inspire kids to create their own art—a nice reflection of the book’s theme of empowerment. Will help instill much-needed feelings of self-worth in little ones." —Kirkus Reviews

"A treasure trove of positive affirmations for young readers....An inspiring and heartening title that will find a home in any collection." —School Library Journal

“Knight-Justice’s digital artwork depicts kids with brown skin of varying tones exuding confidence and joy as they act out the accompanying text, modeling big concepts wrapped in an attainable, welcome family practice.”  —Publishers Weekly
