By age four, children become aware that other people are reacting to them. This marks their first experience with being self-conscious. As they gain a sense of “me”, these social interactions help them forge their identities, and issues like self esteem and self-worth emerge as critical determinants of how they think and feel about themselves. Mirror Face is written for children entering this stage of life and centers on an activity that children all over the world engage in: looking in the mirror.
