I like you! Oh what absolutely wonderful story. I really loved it so much. The author has a wondrous way with words. She created a perfect cuddle time story. Every page creates a thought that we hold dear. The illustrations go perfectly to share the emotions of the story. We see the many different reasons and ways that we as parents and caregivers “like you!”
As a mom this was an emotional and meaningful story for me. My son, age 5, is on the Autism Spectrum. He struggles with his feelings and understanding ours. Sometimes he struggled to see that even in his sad and upset moments we still love him. This book was perfect for him. It told a message in a creative and calm way. I love the diversity of the illustrations and the wonderful way it includes everyone.
I will be buying this for several families that we know.
A great way to share with your little ones.
A added special treat was to hear the narration of this story. It was done in a heartfelt and loving way. It made the story even more meaningful for our family. It was done in a sincerely calm and relaxing way. Perfect for sharing with your little ones at snuggle time. So well done.
Sky full of stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I like you so much" is a wonderful book that expresses all the love you have for your child. I listened to the audio version of this book with my child as a good- night story and he felt very happy afterwards. I will say that my child is normally abled, and I'm not sure how a child with different physical abilities will react to things like "i love how your body moves".

This book has a great message for young kids about embracing who they are and their emotions. It also touches on being aware of the emotions of those around you and sharing your feelings.
The narration was great and had perfect inflection.
Thank you NetGalley for the ALC of this book.

I was drawn to this book by the beautiful orange color, fun illustrations, and gorgeous diversity. I didn’t realize until the end that the author is someone I have followed on social media for awhile, @theluckyfewofficial. This book has lengthier text that makes me think it’s best for 3+ age group. I like the repetitive rhythm of the story and the overall message of loving your kid because “you are YOU,” and love is unconditional. The narration for the audiobook was perfectly paced, and I could really feel the emotion behind the important message of the book being carried through!

I Like You So Much: Celebrating What Makes You, You! (Hardcover)
by Heather Avis
a social emotional learning book to send home with your students. This very positive book shows the connections and very enlightened way of showing a child love and acceptance. The book goes from the outside in. Naming everything from smiles to how you look at the world. Its an affirmation of love. This would help parents who are struggling connecting with their child. It gives them things to look at and understand that the good things need to be said for a child to hear.

I like this book so much! "I Like You So Much" is a sweet book with a simple yet important message for little ones: they are loved and liked just as they are! The audiobook narrator reads beautifully. I look forward to sharing this with some of the young readers in my life. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to listen in exchange for an honest review.

This book is cute but very repetitive. My children and I enjoyed listening to the story. This would be good for children learning to read with the word repetition, it is easier for children to learn words. Also the message is very positive and a child can find themselves within the book.

I would say this book is really for 6 and under. My older daughter (10) did not enjoy it much and felt like it wasn’t engaging for her.

The narrator did a great job and is easy to listen to.

This book is everything kids need to hear. To be told they are loved just the way they are! The narrastion was engaging and warm, like a big warm hug! A must read for all children.

I Like You So Much is a sweet, heartfelt affirmation. When I first started listening, I pictured a mother speaking to her child—but it could just as easily be a message from an aunt, uncle, grandparent, or anyone who deeply loves a child. The audiobook brings an extra layer of charm: the narrator’s enthusiasm and expressive inflection make the words come alive. A perfect match of story and voice.

This is such a great book. And the narrator did a fantastic job. The message in this book is so important for children and adults alike. Being you is enough. You are perfect just the way you are. We tend to forget that. Putting this message into children's minds at such a young age may just help it imprint a little better. All kids need this book! Thank you to Zonderkidz and NetGalley for the ALC. All opinions are my own.

“You are the best at doing your best.”

Was not expecting this little book to pack such an emotional punch. This is a message that every person, from any age and at every stage, could benefit from hearing.

This books features full color pages with lovely and diverse illustrations. The representation and inclusivity was refreshing and necessary.

While I thought the narrator did a fantastic job, this is one of those books that really needs to be seen. The loveliness of the illustrations is only eclipsed by the loveliness of the message itself.

Thank you to NetGalley, Zonderkidz-Books, and Heather Avis for this ARC and ALC in exchange for my honest opinion.

"The most likeable thing about you is that you are you." This is such an important message for kids (and adults). You are enough as you are. The narrator was so good and enthusiastic. Great book for little kids.

What a lovely sweet book for kids! I listened to the audiobook for this one and the narrator was a joy to listen to! Upbeat, happy, and enthusiastic. I can see myself reading this book to my speech kiddos at work because it carries a great messaging for loving ourselves. Thank you to Zonderkidz for the ALC!

I have a 5 year old and I enjoyed playing this for her a few times right after a tantrum. Great book for parents and their children.

What a beautiful book! Great way to teach children we love them and appreciate them, just as they are. It’s also a good tool to model for them how we’d like them to talk about themselves.

I listen to this with my child and it's a cute story. I love how it tells about each and every amazing little detail of a child. I also like that it includes parts of us which we sometimes don't like but is actually good if we look at it on the bright side. It's positive affirmation of self which can also apply to everyone.

I feel like the narration, tone intonation, and sometimes the breath is not fit for this story. This is the second audiobook I have listened here on NetGalley but I don't feel like listening to it again especially with my child. There's something about the narration that doesn't feel right with me. It sounds like it's for adult books which sounds inappropriate for kids books. There are also no sound effects which makes it more engaging for the kids listening.

The flow of the story is easy to follow. I love the end part where it says that I like you because it's you. Overall it's a good read for a book but would not recommend much for an audiobook.

Thank you to NetGalley and Zonderkids for the copy.

I listened to the audio - I found the narrators voice very welcoming and clear. I listened on 1.5x speed and could understand clearly.

This was a very cute lovely book about liking and loving our children. A very important message for littles as they learn to be people in this big wide wild world.

Thanks Zonderkidz for the gifted copy.

This is such a sweet book for all ages! It has such an important message and I really enjoyed the audiobook. The narrator did a fantastic job highlighting all the reasons why they’re liked so much and she was very enthusiastic bringing the story to life and keeping a child’s attention.

Review to be submitted on Amazon.

This was so cute! I loved the inclusivity of this book and would definitely recommend to my nieces and nephews. Thanks to NetGalley and zonderkidz for a copy of this book. I also thought the narrator did an excellent job.

Very positive listening experience. Important message presented clearly. I'd recommend this book for adults as well as children.
