Well, I read that really fast
First of all thanks to NetGalley and HCI Books for giving me an advanced reader's copy of the book in exchange of a honest review.
So, one of my New Year's goals was to read more graphic novels and more children's/middle-grade books, also, I really wanted to read more arc's this year.
That's how I got into this beautiful graphic novel, that has such a great message to everyone and it's great for a school read to little kids. It focuses on believing on yourself and try something first instead of saying "I can't do it" before even trying. And I think that's something we all have to keep in mind.
It's a very short graphic novel and I highly recommend it.

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fantastic book for young readers (and even us not so young readers!) to come up with self affirmation's.
Teaching young people to believe in themselves and to help boost others is so important. This wonderful book has helpful notes in the back for parents/guardians/teachers to read and incorporate ways of helping to boost young individuals self confidence and self belief. All tied in with wonderful illustrations.

This is such a wonderful and encouraging book with beautiful illustrations! Helping kids with their self-esteem and teaching them to change can't into can. There's never truly a need for the word can't when trying to do an action or a task, there's such a negative emotion that's associated with that word. I like the idea of "shredding" the negative thought process that you can't do something even if you've never tried. Showing that just because you're afraid of something or don't think you can do it doesn't mean you should give up, giving a more positive outlook on challenging circumstances. It's a great lesson for kids to help with confidence and potentially growing to be more independent. I also liked the tips and activities for parents and teachers to do with children at the end of the book. I thought it was an excellent thing to be included that gave opportunity for more conversations on the topic to happen.
Thanks to NetGalley for the free e-copy of the book!

This book was really well done. It is laid out like a graphic novel. Molly is a little girl who is afraid to speak in front of the class. She comes up with various reasons not to, including going a full day without talking. This day makes her realize how many people say I Can't! But she knows they can. And if they can, then she can! I like that there was not some big multistep way to believe in yourself. It was a simple idea, but one that sticks and one that works.

Has there ever been a moment in your life when your first reaction to a situation is "I can't"? Well, join the club. Molly, our little protagonist, has the same issue. She doesn't believe that she can speak in front of a class, so she keeps making excuses to her teacher. Soon, she realises that she isn't the only one with doubts. And that's when a brilliant idea strikes her.
When you see Jack Canfield as the author for a children's book, you know that the story is bound to be uplifting. And it is. It presents a beautiful way in which we can cast off our fears and attempt anything with genuine belief in ourselves.
The book ends with a wonderful and practical activity list for parents and teachers to get rid of the "I can't" attitude in themselves and the children in their lives.
I received an advance review copy of the book from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
