Building self-esteem in a fun way

Being Free is an uplifting book about recognizing the freedom that you have inside. Freedom to be you, to use your voice, to have your own style, and even show your silly side.

Being Free was written for all children. It encourages them to be their authentic selves and celebrate their uniqueness.

Enjoyable and Educational

All ages will enjoy this rhyming picture book and even see a little of themselves through the main character and her relatable experiences. Empowerment and self-esteem is built gradually and the story lends itself to open discussions about the character’s actions, feelings, and attitude.

As your child reads through the rhymes, the words they recite help them embrace their uniqueness. “I can” statements are sprinkled in, as well as action statements that reinforce a positive self-image. It’s one of those books that will be read and shared again and again.
