My Confidence Outgrew This Little Book

By: Burris, Chandra

Dear Grown-Ups

This story is filled with love and affirmations for every child, especially my grandchildren. Each child in this book shows us how to be strong, gentle, kind, and confident. Use the reflection questions to help children grow their self-esteem, talk about emotions, and feel safe being themselves. No matter what kind of day it is, remind them: They are seen. They are loved. They already have everything they need to shine.
