Self-Confidence & Identity

Confidence isn't something children either have or don't. It's built slowly, through small moments of trying, failing, adjusting, and trying again. These 0 books celebrate that process, and offer children mirrors in which they might recognize something worth believing in.

Who am I? Am I enough? These books help children explore identity and build belief in themselves.
