Yummy Me Feels So Good by Lion Iam {Children’s Book Review}

June 15, 2020 by Leila | 2 Comments

Disclosure: I received this book to review through iRead Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Yummy Me Feels So Good by Lion Iam {Children's Book Review}Yummy Me Feels So Good isn’t just another story book. It is something you can use with your kids and grandkids for many years. Simple and childlike, kids identify with the gentle creatures within. Absolutely beautiful, Yummy Me is a genius way of helping children immediately connect with the world of emotions through enchanting animal friends. The images and words are so simple and therefore can be grasped by children and adults of all ages. The book can easily open up space for a dialogue about emotions between an adult and a child, all the while being playfully disguised as animal talk. Children laugh and grimace as they flip through the pages, mirroring the emotions they feel on the pages. Yummy Me is a great doorway to explore the sometimes difficult arena of emotions, both for children, teachers and parents.

Rather than labeling certain emotions as “good” or “bad”, these emotions simply get space to be as they are, and encourage the reader to remember that they too will pass. The final message of the book that we are in fact “none of these” me’s is a loving reminder that at any moment we can start our day again from joy. “I have seen firsthand how taking out this book can transform a child’s tantrum into a smile and eventually bursts of laughter.

Lion I AM validates and assists children to experience emotions in a conscious manner — essential to learning and gaining self-knowledge. Scientific research has demonstrated that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships. Yummy Me Feels So Good will help you and your child learn to be “Lions of Love,” to consciously choose and express effectively what you are feeling. Being watchful and strong like the Lion brings acceptance and maturity in the ever changing world of feelings. Then everyone can share this “feeling of magic” and joy with others. – Harold H Bloomfield MD, N.Y. Times bestselling author

Basics first.

The book is approximately 36 pages long, but not all of the pages have words. The pictures are magnificent. Absolutely beautiful.

The words are large text and easy to read. The book is recommended for ages 3-7. It is a great book for learning readers as there is a lot of repetitive sight words. My youngest is 7 (going into 2nd grade) and can read this with little assistance.

Overall, the book is fun and cute and opens up room for a conversation with your child about their “Me’s”. As the books says, we all have our own little “Me’s” that make up our entire Me.

We have fleeting emotions and times when we aren’t who we really want to be, but that those are not the real us. It is okay to have feelings and to experience emotions, but at the end of the day, that is what they are. Our feelings and our emotions do not make us who we are as a whole.

This book is super cute and super fun. It is definitely one that my youngest and I will continue to read together for nights to come!

To say I'm obsessed with this 2 grams of gecko is To say I'm obsessed with this 2 grams of gecko is an understatement.

I. Am. Infatuated. 😍

I have decided they are my emotional support animal! 🤣 

Tonight, they ate right off my finger! I didn't think I could fall in more in love!! 🥰
Just a reminder - for you and for me - that we are Just a reminder - for you and for me - that we are ENOUGH. Always.

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
