The Lovables In The Kingdom Of Self-Esteem By Kim Howard

486 Words2 Pages

The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem was written by Diane Loomans and illustrated by Kim Howard. The Lovables is not a typical picture book that tells a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Rather, it is a collection of animals who live in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem. Each animal exemplifies a specific word of virtue or characteristic that promotes self-esteem. The reader enters the gates of the kingdom and reads from one animal to another, learning about courage from Lawrence the Lion, sharing from Diana Dove, respect from Ryan Rhino and so on. Each of the 24 animal 's characteristic is written in short, rhyming text. The illustrations of The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem are done in watercolors. The colors are bright and appealing to young readers. In fact, the greatest attraction of this book are the illustrations. Although I believe the format of the book might lose the attention of younger readers, the illustrations will keep them interested. Each page is filled with detailed images of animals and the places where they live. The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem illustrations allow the reader to look again and again to find something new. …show more content…

I would use this book as a springboard to promote weekly lessons regarding self-esteem. Providing it is permissible to copy the pictures from the book, I would create a weekly bulletin board. For example, I would start with Lawrence the Lion and his virtue of courage. Throughout the week, I would refer to Lawrence, discuss the word courage and find visual examples to post on the board. Another example, is Buddy Beaver who character quality is to take care of the world around him. We would talk and find ways to better to the

  • Explain Two Links Between An Individual's Identity, Self-Esteem And Self Esteem

    1372 Words  | 6 Pages

    There are a few links between an individual’s identity, self-esteem and self-image. An individual’s identity is them, their age, their name, ethnicity and background, their family, also their language and education. Their self-esteem means how much they actually value themselves and lastly their self-image is how they view themselves or see themselves. If they have no identity, for example if they are afraid of how others might see them this links to a low self-esteem which can lead to social isolation and/or they might suffer from depression, then their self-image may then suffer such as they forget to look after their personal appearance, hygiene and how they used to dress. On the other hand if they are happy and confidence with their identity then the individual is most likely to look after themselves and their personal image more such as the way they look, dress, eat healthily and exercise etc.

    At a first glance, the Bear who often finds himself stuck in unconventional places and who absentmindedly eats honey meant for birthday gifts and Heffalump traps may not amount to much more than a simple children 's’ book character. Perhaps, a second or a third glance will still generate the same shallow interpretation. However, a reader with philosophical understanding will recognize some uncanny resemblances between the teachings of philosophers and the little trite comments that are ubiquitous within A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh. As the beloved Bear goes on his daily adventures, his spoken and unspoken words present a clever demonstration of the philosophies of Socrates, Descartes, and Aristotle.
