When Violet and her classmates are taught to say "Good morning, I love you," to improve their happiness, she’s skeptical. How will saying she loves herself change anything? But with the encouragement of her friends and the kindness of her mother, Violet embraces the practice. With it, she learns to counter her negative self-talk, embrace self-love, and feel genuinely happy.
In her book Good Morning, I Love You: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Practices to Rewire Your Brain for Calm, Clarity, and Joy, Shauna Shapiro illuminates the brain science behind why we feel the way we do and how we get stuck in negative patterns of thinking. Good Morning, I Love You, Violet! brings this message of self-kindness to young readers, helping children learn a practice that will serve them for a lifetime.
