Synopsis

"Relays a story underscoring the importance of self-respect and confidence." - Publishers Weekly

"This book focuses on the protagonist Macie's perceptions of herself. She starts off as a secure, confident young girl until she meets a girl named Penelope who makes her start doubting her beauty. Using a mirror was a helpful way for the illustrator/author to get students to start thinking about the ways they perceive themselves. Self-love is important and this book will help motivate little girls to feel good about themselves." - Josiah Quincy Upper School

Good enough was never good enough for Macie. She wanted to be the best. Until the day Macie took a look in the mirror and learned a very important lesson . . .

A story about self-respect and confidence, for not-so-perfect kids ages 4 years and up.

Guided Reading Level I

"Macie is a girl, who wants to be the very, very best. Things get tough when a new girl starts at her school. She talks to her mirror and to her dad and the story shows that as long as you love yourself, things are just fine! The illustrations were quite lovely and the story covers the kind of things I want my daughters to know now at a young age. Very well done" - Lioness of Literacy

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Adam Ciccio (1983 - ) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and raised in Savannah, Georgia during his teen and young adult years. He graduated from St. Andrew's Preparatory School (Savannah, GA) in 2002. Adam graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH) in 2006. He then pursued a Master of Science in Psychological Counseling at Salem State University (Salem, MA), graduating in 2012. Adam owns and operates a mental health private practice for children and adults in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the same town where he currently resides. Adam's first book, "Anxious Andy," (Lulu Press, 2018) was developed as an introductory for parents and teachers to discuss the emotion of anxiety with children in early childhood, helping with early intervention of anxiety disorders. "Macie's Mirror" (Clavis, 2019), a story about a little girl breaking free of her own fixation of popularity and self-image, was inspired by Adam's first-born daughter, Charlotte.

Gertie Jaquet was born in Egmond aan Zee. Now she lives and works in Amsterdam where she shares a studio space under the railway with colleagues. Gertie illustrates children's books, picture books and magazines, and she illustrated for the famous Dutch TV-program Sesame Street. Best known are the books about Hare.
