If You Teach A Beaver To Build Confidence

By Portia Smith

If you teach a beaver to build confidence... he just might build a dream.

In this heartwarming SEL picture book, a determined little beaver learns that mistakes don't mean failure-they're part of the building process. When his dam springs a leak and his log cabin plans roll out of control, he starts to doubt himself. But with encouragement, teamwork, and a few shiny pebbles for flair, he learns that real confidence comes from within.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, If You Teach a Beaver to Build Confidence teaches kids:

That self-worth doesn't depend on perfectionThat asking for help is a strength, not a weaknessHow to celebrate their own unique style and progress

Written by award-winning counselor and author Portia Smith, this playful story supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in classrooms, therapy, and at home.

Whether your child is nervous about trying something new or struggling with self-esteem, Benny the Beaver's journey will inspire them to believe in themselves-one branch at a time.
