An adorable quick-read about a little boy learning to swim with his family. In this story, mom is the instructor. She helps her son climb down the ladder, grab onto the poolside, keep his head up, and kick his legs. He eventually gains the confidence to swim on his own (without a floatie).
Confidence
Watch this little girl confidently get ready for her first camping trip. She brings all the right gear (her tent, her bag and her lamp). She feels prepared for her overnight adventure until darkness sets. She's a little scared hearing the animals and other noises -- but her mom is right there.
Confidence
Details the incredible life of Wangari Maatthai, a Kenyan native who dedicated her life to healing the land. Our favorite quotes, “She was confident that planting trees would heal the land” (p35). “Life for Kikuyu revolved around nature” (p4). And "the children were encouraged to play in the rain and hailstorms because it was believed that the rain would make them grow the way it made plants grow" (p13).
