 Hello friends! Welcome back to another preschool story time with the Long Beach Public Library. My name is Miss Shayna and today we are going to play a little hello game called Bread and Butter. So we'll start by slapping our lap and clapping like this. Can you join me? Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as nicely as we can. Hello! Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as quickly as we can. Hello! Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as slowly as we can. Bread and Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as quietly as we can. Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as loudly as we can. Hello! Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as high as we can. Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as low as we can. Hello! Bread and Butter Marmalade and Jam. Let's say hello as sweetly as we can. Hello! Do you hear that? I think it's the storytime fairy. Hi, storytime fairy. Is this for me? Thank you. Wow, it's very light today. Not much in here, huh? Look inside? Okay. Look at that. It's a letter. And it says to Ms. Shayna from the storytime fairy. Should I open it and see? It's a little card. It says to my Valentine. I love the butterflies. And it says thanks for being you. Oh, storytime fairy. That's the nicest thing anyone's told me. Thank you for being you. But I don't have a Valentine for you. It's okay. You'd like me to read a story instead? Oh, I'd love to. I've got this story right here. It says I like myself. The story all about loving who you are. It's by Karen Beaumont. And the pictures are by David Cattrow. I like myself. I like myself. I'm glad I'm me. There's no one else I'd rather be. I like my eyes, my ears, my nose. I like my fingers and my toes. I like me wild. I like me tame. I like me different and the same. I like me fast. I like me slow. I like me everywhere I go. I like me on the inside, too, for all I think and say and do. Inside, outside, upside down, from head to toe and all around, I like it all. It all is me. And me is all I want to be. Who care in any way what someone else may think or say? I may be called a silly nut or crazy cuckoo bird, so what? I'm having too much fun, you see, for anything to bother me. Even when I look a mess, I still don't like me any less, because nothing in this world, you know, can change what's deep inside. And so, no matter if they stop and stare, no person ever anywhere can make me feel that what they see is all there really is to me. I'd still like me with fleas or warts or with a silly snout that snorts or knobby knees or hippo hips or purple polka dotted lips or beaver breath or stinky toes or horns protruding from my nose or yikes with spikes all down my spine or hair that's like a porcupine. I still would be the same, you see. I like myself because I'm me. The end. Now I'd like to sing for you my favorite alphabet song. It's called A, You're Adorable. We'll also be learning how to sign our A-B-C's using American Sign Language. Okay, so boom. Them, shall we? One. Two. Little Valentine sent to my house the first one said that was nice of mouse. Valentine's are left. One, two, three, four times in my mailbox. The second one said how many Valentine's are left? One, two, three, four. Four little Valentine's full of love. The third one said you are sweet from dove. Just kidding, we all know that's pigeon, right? Thanks pigeon. How many Valentine's are left? One, two, three. Three little Valentine's just for me. The fourth one said be my honey from be Valentine's are left. One, two. Two little Valentine's mailed with care. The fifth one said here's a hug from bear. One last little Valentine from my friend, Jay. This one said happy Valentine's Day. I hope you all have a happy Valentine's Day and maybe make some Valentine's for your loved ones or even write a Valentine for yourself this year. Take care. We'll see you next time.
