Part of the I’m a Great Little Kid Series, which is published in conjunction with the Toronto Child Abuse Centre who believe that empowering young children makes them less vulnerable.

Done in rhyme, these six full-of-fun picture books, aim to empower by instilling young children with confidence, self-esteem, respect.

Now I See How Great I Can Be illustrates the value of self-esteem and confidence. An excerpt reads:

“So I tried to do it, again and again,

Till it was easy, like flying my plane.

The teacher said she was proud of me,

I’m proud too, of what I can be!

I can also help others, if I try,

I like myself, is the reason why.

I know if I stop and think things through

I can also be helpful to friends like you!"
