Just Because I Am: A Child's Book of Affirmation (Lauren Murphy Payne)
Attractively illustrated for children, this book gives children affirming and empowering messages to build up their self-esteem.  "Not because of things I do, not because of what I look like, not because of what I have...just because I am."  The books deals with respecting your body, acknowledging your feelings and your needs, learning that everyone makes mistakes, and that it is OK to say 'yes' and 'no', and to ask for help.  Highly recommended.
