Liz Carr - I Like Myself CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hello, I'm Liz.

I've been having a lot of fun playing in my wheelchair today.

I like my wheelchair, and I really like my curly hair.

In tonight's Bedtime Story,

there's a little girl who also has curly hair.

Would you like to hear it?

The story is called I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont and David Catrow.

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.

And I don't 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

There's 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 knobbly knees or hippo hips

Or purple polka-dotted lips

Or beaver breath or stinky toes

Or horns producing 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.

That was I Like Myself.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Do you know what else I like?

I like to snuggle up under my duvet and get all cosy and warm in bed.

It's your bedtime now so you can snuggle under your duvet

and get all cosy and warm.

Night-night and sweet dreams.
