The Power of Encouragement: Turning "I Can't" into "I Can"

By: Maille, Ruth

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 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 book gives families and educators a natural way to talk about confidence, resilience, positive self-talk, and the courage it takes to try something hard. Perfect for ages 4-8 and ideal for homes, classrooms, counseling offices, and social-emotional learning programs.
