Miriam has done it again! She really knows how to deliver big messages in a really relatable way for kids. Without prompting, as soon as we finished the book both of my kids (ages 5 and 7) started brainstorming together all of the ways they could make a difference! Love it!
Miriam Laundry's book is the perfect "pay it forward" lesson for our youth today. As a former school administrator for many years I know how important it is to help children develop positive self-esteem. Students need to see that their efforts and positive energy can help others. Miriam's delightful book is the perfect gift for that special child in your life who is at a young, impressionable age. Teachers and principals, "I Can" is ideal for preschool and lower elementary students and can become part of a wider character education piece for your school.Parents and grandparents, don't wait for this book to show up in your special child's classroom.

Parents, instead of donating cupcakes for your child's birthday; bring a copy of this book from your child to the classroom library. You and your child will be glad you did! Many lessons inside here, for adults and children alike. Hats off to Miriam Laundry for making such a difference!

Teaching children the values of important life lessons is what I hear when I read this book. In fact, if all children were empowered to believe in themselves the way Miriam describes in her story telling in this book, we would have an amazing number of children with a high and healthy self esteem. Every child needs a copy of this book. By sharing this with others, Miriam really can deliver the message and stand by her motto "I CAN Make A Difference"! Well done Miriam :)
After purchasing Miriam's Laundry's first book, I CAN Believe in Myself, as gifts for all of my nieces and nephews, I could not wait for this one to come out. The author has such a gift for communicating powerful messages clearly and in an enjoyable way. The added sports theme went a long way with the boys in the family. Love it and hope another I CAN book will be coming out soon!
"I Can" Make a Difference is such a great book and the Author does an amazing job of instilling in the readers that anything is possible as long as you believe and take positive action towards the task or goal you want to accomplish. This book should be required for all children in school and our world would be a much better place, because our children would learn that anything is possible.
The book is so beautiful! It is nice to hold something such great quality in your hands. The cover and the pages feel so good. The outer beauty of the quality materials and colorful images in the book support the inner message of empowerment and breaking through imagined barriers. I think children will really enjoy this book!
