Advance Praise

"What a great way to help children understand that they are not alone and how they can be seen without seeking negative attention. This book also displays how sometimes we feel ignored, but others are not intentionally trying to ignore us. Great resource to have to open up conversations about loneliness and feeling unseen!" -Lynn

This reads like a perfect short story. I feel most of us will be able to relate to the character. With such amazing illustrations and the beautiful writing, the storybook talks about a girl who feels lonely in her home because of the busy adults and at school as it happens when you are not in a group. But yes, once we start accepting ourselves as we are and communicate more , things do work out eventually as long as we try.

Love the concept of the book.

Thank you, BooksGoSocial for the advance reading copy.

Every kid can relate to feeling invisible at some point, so this book will likely resonate with young readers. Sometimes adults have to focus on other priorities. Sometimes other kids aren't as inclusive as we'd wish. Sometimes it feels like there isn't a place for us. This story will help kids recognize that everyone feels this way occasionally and there are lots of healthy things we can do about it.

The illustrations are one of the best parts of this book. They're so bright and vivid and engaging! The story is told in verse, but sometimes word choice and meter seem to be sacrificed to serve the rhyme. Still, the story has a strong message that will be helpful for young people. This would be a great classroom read for early elementary and could spark some great conversations!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Invisible Me
by Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs
this a great book showing how we see ourselves because of someone else behavior, a young girl feels invisible because she does not get immediate response of her mother, nor her class mates. She takes it into her own hands and finds what will draw their attention.

What an eye-opening book about how a little girl navigates her feelings for feeling ignored. I have three children and my middle son is the quiet one who has trouble making friends because he's shy and doesn't know how to start conversations. I like how the book shows the girl turning her negative feelings into something positive, making her feel better. I enjoy reading this author's books and look forward to reading more in the future.

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this book.

It is a sweet story with beautiful illustrations and pleasing to the ear when read aloud. My children enjoyed it. They liked her shirt and that she can be herself. They asked me to read it again. Its a good book to read with your kids and ask opened ended questions.

Such an important message and lesson being construed in this book. This book teaches children how to affirm themselves when they are lonely. As a former shy kid (still a shy kid) I really enjoyed the book. The illustrations were also just gorgeous! Also loved how the protagonist was a little Black girl--we need more Black girls in children's media!! Thank you for the ARC :)

This is a really cute book about manifestation and letting your feelings be known and just being yourself and getting accepted for who you are it’s beautiful and I absolutely love the illustrations I think it’s a great book for kids.

This is a great book to use with children who need to boost their self confidence and mental well being. We all feel invisible at times but reading this book together will create plenty of opportunities for discussions on getting through days like that.

The beauty of this book lies in the graphics. There is no denying. It gives a lovely message but the art is simply stunning: I could not stop being amazed.
I recommend it to the young, sensitive audience who sometimes feel like they are not special enough.
You are.

Thank you so much NetGalley for a copy of 'Invisible Me' in exchange of my honest opinion.

Sometimes being seen and feeling like belonging can be quite challenging.

A lot of people modify the way the act, the way the talk and the way they are just to fit in.

In 'Invisible Me' we see an example of a young girl that goes unnoticed at school and how that makes her feel.

However sad this can sound, she chooses to be true to herself and show everyone how interesting as a person she really is.

A very inspiring read!

This book tells the story of a child who feels invisible and what she does to change that. While the child is likely cared for and treated well most days, this could be a really important message for children who are neglected or discriminated against. Whether it happens often or just once in a while, it is really hard for young children to feel not seen, and one of the first steps is to help show them that they are welcome in our classrooms or communities through diverse stories like this one. As a grade 3 teacher I think this is a fantastic book that needs to be in my classroom library and in other classrooms and homes all over! The rhythmic rhyming nature of the writing evokes calm even while sharing a really scary topic for young children - being forgotten or unloved. I so appreciate Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review and advance copy of this book! I can’t wait to go out and purchase a copy once it is published!

The title is what called my attention.
It has a great message for kids and a great opening for parents and caregivers to talk.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I think a lot of kids can relate to the way that the main character feels in the book. However, I don’t love the message that what she seeks and what fixes things and makes her feel better is outside validation from others.

Wonderful illustrations, topic: positive affirmations ---

The story is written in rhyme and accompanied by beautiful graphics. Amazing! ---

There is this girl who struggles with the feeling of being invisible on that particular day. She feels unnoticed: neither at school nor at home. That is why she decides to make sure she is seen- in a very creative way. This book shows how the girl believes in herself, how she accepts herself, and how brave she is to show her feelings.

A beautiful look though how to utilize your inner light in life and how to make your life brighter. Pun intended. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Invisible me is an absolute heartmelter of a book! The illustrations are amazing and bring this story to life. Children can often feel not good enough or special enough at times in their lives, just as we as adults can. This book sends a beautiful message to the child about accepting yourself for who you are, believing in yourself and that communication is key.
This book is such a special read and I recommend it to all children. May they find hope, acceptance and comfort from such a beautiful book.
