Harriet and her classmates each have to draw a picture of something they love. Harriet loves unicorns, barbecue chip sundaes, and tubas . . . but those are already taken. With a little support and encouragement from her family, Harriet finally decides on the perfect thing to draw. Herself! This book is a sweet, humorous, lively, and charming read-aloud with a simple message of self-affirmation.
Evaluation comments:
“I like the positive message of this book.”
“This book follows Harriet as she tries to figure out what to draw for her class art party. The children are asked to draw something they love. All the children in the class already chose the things she loves- family, pineapples, the tuba etc. Harriet asks her family what they love, and they all say they love her. In the end, Harriet draws a picture of herself.”
