I Am . . . I Can

About the Book

I Am . . . I Can (The Gazelle) is the fourth picture book in the series where children will see animals in difficult and seemingly unreachable conquests. As the animals solve their problems, children are encouraged to achieve goals, overcome hardships and learn how to develop confidence and self-esteem like the animals in the books. Children learn from the insecure gazelle who was convinced he couldn't jump over a tree that had fallen in his path that all he had to do was just try and realize that it wasn't such a difficult task after all.
