A perfect back-to-school read for building independence and confidence in kids ready to take on more responsibilities.
Three kids. Three real-world skills. Not a grown-up in sight to do it for them.Sam has his first day of basketball camp in the morning, zero clean shirts, and no lunch packed, plus a dad too buried in studying to help. Time to take on the washing machine... and the bubble flood he definitely didn't plan on.
Charlie has two hours before the grandparents arrive, a house that looks like a tornado hit it, and a peanut-butter disaster in the kitchen. Cue Operation: Grandparents.
Maya wakes up home alone and hungry, with a quiet kitchen and a note from Papá. Making her own breakfast means cracked eggs, a hot pan, and proving she can do it low and slow, all by herself.
Told in a funny, first-person, doodle-filled diary style, with each kid writing in their own handwriting, Pssht, I Got This! turns everyday chores into page-turning adventures. Kids don't just read about the skill being conquered; Sam, Charlie, and Maya mess up, recover, and then nail it.
Inside each story:
- A funny, relatable adventure kids actually want to read
- Black-and-white illustrations to color in, and keep as a sort of skills journal
- Simple, real step-by-step how-to guides
- A Family Plan to bring each new skill into your home
Perfect for confident and reluctant readers ages 8-10, and for any grown-up who'd love to hear Pssht, I got this! a little more often.
Different kid, different skill, same spark: that heart-swelling moment when a kid realizes, Pssht, I got this.
Read them in any order. Collect them all. Watch your kid start asking to do the dishes.
