I am a Positive Child

About the Book

This book was inspired by her husband and children. At bedtime the boys, Triston, 10, and Archer, 7, would repeat positive affirmations after their father, which prompted Jennifer to write an entire book using every letter of the alphabet. It did not initially rhyme but she wanted it to be catchy enough that parents and children could memorize their favorite parts together. It took almost 5 months to complete the paintings for the book because she wanted them to portray different scenarios that children may encounter and the positive steps they can take to get through the situation. The letter of the affirmation is represented in the painting somewhere. See if you can find them all!
