Building Confidence
This book is great for anyone actually, though the target is for kids. I think adults could benefit from the message because a lot of times they get discouraged by naysayers. But if you have confidence is self ... other people words won’t matter.
I know you g kids will benefit from this. Learning confidence in oneself at you age will take you far in your adult life. Who to say you can’t.... be or do whatever? You are the master of your life, and you should what you can or cannot do

Great book on believing in oneself
This is an excellent book that teaches children they should believe in themselves and not to let anyone determine what they can or cannot do. The author’s repetitive use of the line “Who’s to say that I cannot/I am not...I can/I am” is fun and uplifting to say and helps embed a positive mindset and confidence in the reader’s mind. It’s one book I feel is important for children to read more than once. The illustrations are bright and colorful.

This was the first kid's book of affirmations I have read and I loved it!! This book will help to build the self-confidence of children as it tells them that they can be whomever they want to be and do whatever they want to do.!! This book is especially important for black children who need to hear this now more than ever. I highly recommend parents get this book for their children and read it to them or have them read it to themselves daily!!

You Can Be Anything You Want to be!
Inspirational book that reminds kids that you can be anything you want to be. Don’t let the world or anyone place limits on your potential. You can be a writer, boss, singer, athlete etc. as long as you put your mind to it. You can also be beautiful, handsome, smart, and witty. This book reminds us that everyone is made up of so many gifts, talent and abilities!

Perfect book to motivate children!
I absolutely love this book! Such a positive message that every single child needs to hear. This book instills courage and confidence into our young ones, and teaches them that they can do whatever they set their minds to. Beautiful illustrations as well! Highly recommended.

The illustrations are great in this book, which is so, so important in a children's book. I picked this up to share with children in my classes some time ago. I think encouraging and positive books like this can be incredibly helpful for kids these days. I also like that the children are African American, and bring more diversity into my children's book collection.

A moving motivational tale for every child
This story will leave your child moved touched and inspired to be all that they can be. A lot of times our children have self-imposed limitations basically on things that negative people around them have said and this will lift that and allow them to be their greatest selves. A necessary read for every child!

Great book to teach kids the power of believing in themselves.
What children tell themselves matter! This book is a great introduction for children to practice using mindful affirmations to encourage themselves. Me and my preschooler loved it and she loves to repeat the words "Because, I can!". Such a great message!

I Affirm Myself!
I absolutely love the confidence in oneself that this book teaches! It doesn’t matter what others think you can or can’t do as long as you believe in yourself. The illustrations are beautifully done and truly bring the words of affirmation to life! I can affirm myself, I don’t need anyone else to do that for me!

Great inspiration for children!
I recommend this book for children and teens in grades K-12. The message is important for all children to hear. It is a picture book, but children at the secondary level need encouragement as well. It was well illustrated and written. I’m an educator and I will use the book in my social and emotional program that my partner and I developed.

Believing in Yourself
This book encourages kids to believe in the idea that they can do anything they want and they will only decide what they can or cannot be. Well written and easy to follow story. Illustrations are beautiful. Good job.

I’m my Biggest Fan
A wonderful book for truly believing in yourself, who you are, and your abilities no matter what anyone else says. Everyone has an opinion and that’s exactly what it is… an opinion. It’s no reflection on who you are or what you can do.
