I Am, I Can - Wynne Kinder

This book empowers children by providing an affirmation for every single day of the year from January 1 to December 31. I am strong. I am brave. I can handle anything. Using the power of positive thinking, children can build their self-esteem and resilience by focusing on what matters to them and remembering to champion themselves. Perfect for children ages 7 to 9, this book educates and inspires. Affirmations tied to certain key events from history provide motivation and encouragement. On April 17, learn about the Apollo 13 mission and discover how to turn failure into success. On December 1, practice an affirmation of standing up for yourself as you read about Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on the bus. Activity pages encourage children to try practical techniques to explore certain affirmations further, by writing down their ideas, creating affirmations of their own, and making tools to help cope with negative thoughts. Affirmations have been proven to help overcome negative thoughts by reminding us of what matters to us. I Am, I Can uses beautiful illustrations to help bring daily doses of wisdom to life and encourage visualization—a powerful tool in promoting self-belief and keeping anxiety and worry at bay.
