    I Love Everything About Me

    Written by Fatima Scipio

    Illustrated by Paige Mason

    Ages 3+ | 40 Pages

    Publisher: Entangled: Little Lark (2023) | ISBN-13: 978-1-64937-438-7

    What to Expect: Love, adventure, curiosity, identity, and diversity.

    There are so many things to love about being you! You can love what you look like, like your hair, your eyes, or the colors you wear. You can love the things you do, from singing and making music to hobbies like stargazing, bike riding, or hiking. You can love how you feel in different situations, whether wet in the rain, hot in the sunshine, or tossed about by the wind. And you can love yourself no matter what is happening around you, from adventures to playing in the park or just enjoying the small things in life. Being you is all about being happy! 

    I Love Everything About Me is an upbeat, vibrant picture book. The super simple rhyming text makes this volume’s uplifting message about identity, diversity, and joy easy for even beginner readers to take in, as well as gives it a punchy rhythm that’s fun to read aloud. Readers will surely fall in love with the unnamed main character’s indomitable spirit of adventure and celebration. Paige Mason underscores the buoyant vibe with artwork that blends soft watercolors and dynamic lines, filling the main character with personality and the story with movement.

    I Love Everything About Me is a joyful, body-positive celebration of identity, uniqueness, and self-discovery.

    About the Illustrator

    “Storytelling, adolescence, and imagination is what can be found in my work; simple drawings that children gravitate to, but also illustrations that evoke a sense of nostalgia for adults both old and young.”—Paige Mason

    Paige Mason is a Central Valley-based freelance illustrator living back in her hometown of Fresno, where she continues to make and teach art for Aspen Meadow Public Schools. After living in San Jose, CA, for about six years, Paige has been fortunate to participate in the San Jose art community through Local Color, Nirvana Soul Cafe, and SJMade. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art, with an Illustration emphasis, from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the summer of 2015.

    Paige is currently on track to obtain her Single Subject Credential in Visual Arts to seal her role as an art teacher. A few of the books illustrated by Paige Mason include Adam Gets Back in the Game by Greg Adams; Why Does My Vent Beep, and Shaky Shaky, both written by Katelyn Becker. She is currently working on a few other titles, yet to be released until later this year and 2024. When looking at Paige’s personal artwork, the viewer will be entranced by original characters who tell a story through just one framed illustration. Her art stems from joy, whimsy, and childlike imagination.
