What parents are saying...

A valuable and thoughtful story that gives children an empowering way to understand themselves. My children loved choosing their own "I am" statements.

My daughter loves it! A great way to teach kids about standing up to teasing and developing confidence in themselves.

My son's imagination exploded — he started coming up with all kinds of scenarios Karl could find himself in. A great addition for parents building an empowering library.
