育むもの：自分らしさ、自己肯定感、心の安心
子どもが強い自己意識を育むことは、人生のさまざまな場面で自信をつけるための鍵です。子どもたちが自分らしさを信じられると、新しいことに挑戦したり、新しいスキルを身につけたり、健全で強い人間関係を築きやすくなります。
「ユニコーン、あなたの光を輝かせて」は、自分らしさの概念を紹介する絵本で、読者はユニコーンが自分を特別でユニークな存在として認める旅を追体験します。子どもたちは自分自身を受け入れる勇気をもらい、ユニコーンの物語を通して、大切な人たちはいつでもありのままの自分を愛してくれることを学びます。

My three-year-old asks for this one every single night, and I've noticed her repeating the "let your light shine" phrase to herself at daycare drop-off. The pages are sturdy enough for her to turn on her own, which gives me a moment to breathe.
