We all have difficult thoughts sometimes, but we don’t have to believe them. In My Thoughts and Me, Nima Patel offers a warm, inclusive journey toward teaching children how to identify and gently manage negative self-talk. Illustrations by Cally Johnson-Isaacs bring each page to life with soothing visuals that perfectly align with the book’s nurturing tone.
This uplifting follow-up to Patel’s earlier title The Best You equips young readers with practical, age-appropriate strategies for navigating tricky thoughts—reminding them that it’s okay to have feelings, and empowering them to guide those feelings toward positivity.
