Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6-The authors present affirmations for each day of the year grouped into 12 topics. Monthly themes such as "My Family," "School," and "Feelings" are prefaced with short statements and definitions, some mentioning famous people, e.g., Marian Wright Edelman and "Responsibility," or Carter G. Woodson under "Heritage." Although the subtitle notes that these affirmations are for African Americans, most are general rather than specific and will inspire children or families from any background ("I am a work of art-designed and created by God" and "Rules are to keep me safe. That's why I obey rules."). Yet, in keeping with the theme of racial and cultural pride, Black History Month and Kwanzaa are mentioned. No specific references to national holidays are made. Doniger's monochromatic prints illustrate these affirmations with a variety of simple borders and prints of children and adults engaged in various activities. The indexing is uneven; not all individuals mentioned in the text are included. A book that may need some introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book for Children, July 8 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Gingersnaps Daily Affirmations For African American Children And Families (Paperback)
What a wonderful book to share with your own children, and those of everyone you know. It is easy and fun to read, with cute illustrations. I consider "Gingersnaps" to be one stepping stone in the process of raising our kids to grow up to be confident, positive and loving adults. Ladies, thank you. I'm looking forward to your next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!, Feb 23 1999
This review is from: Gingersnaps Daily Affirmations For African American Children And Families (Paperback)
I bought the book for my daughters, and just last weekend, my nine year old daughter said: "Mommy, that book makes me feel good" She takes the book with her and I'm planning to buy another copy for my seven year old since she is still learning to read, and my oldest has claimed the book for her personal own. Thank you ladies for this book.If I could, I would get it for all these young children because they need to feel good about themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Positively delightful!, Aug 20 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Gingersnaps Daily Affirmations For African American Children And Families (Paperback)
What a great idea! These two authors are very insightful to realize that if we provide positive affirmations to children, perhaps they won't need so much self-help as adults. My 9 year old daughter enjoys the stories of African American heros included in Gingersnaps. I also love the eye-catching cover design. A nice gift to give or receive.
