A powerful social-emotional learning (SEL) picture book that helps children ages 4-8 build confidence, resilience, and the courage to turn I can't into I can.
Every child whispers I can't at some point. This is the book that helps them believe I can.
In The Power of Encouragement: Turning I Can't into I Can, Orbit-a lovable planet-Earth character-visits a kindergarten classroom to explore two powerful superpowers: courage and encouragement.
Together, the children share real moments from their own lives: conquering a fear of roller coasters, facing a tough puzzle, starting a new school, learning to read, and getting back up after a tumble. Each story shows how a few supportive words from a parent, teacher, coach, or friend can turn doubt into determination.
Along the way, children discover a powerful secret hidden inside the word encourage-and learn that they can be encouragers, too.
With vibrant illustrations and a warm, read-aloud style, this inspiring picture book helps families and educators talk about confidence, perseverance, positive self-talk, and the courage it takes to try again.
Perfect for:
- Parents and grandparents
- Teachers and classrooms
- School counselors
- Social-emotional learning (SEL) programs
Give a child the words that spark courage. Scroll up and order your copy today.
