This is a great book for self esteem. It focuses on acceptance of others even thought they may be different. While this doesn't promote a specific window or mirror, I think that it does a good job of generalizing that differences are ok.

This is sort of a fantastical retelling of a girl's daydream about flying over the city, but it has some themes that explore low-SES families and inequality of races. In African- American culture, the dream of flying to freedom is a metaphor for escaping slavery. This little girl wants to escape her hardships by flying and giving her family everything they want.
