Hero of Hope

About the Book

We’re all unique, but knowing that doesn’t always make life easy, especially for children with a disability. Sometimes, we want to give up hope just because we are considered “different,” but it’s important to believe in yourself and the hero within.

Hero of Hope teaches children to feel happy, no matter what, through the power of positive self-talk. This book encourages kids to look in the mirror every morning and say positive things about themselves, helping them to realize just how wonderful they are.

Uplifting affirmations give the strength needed to face daily challenges. Once children see their positive attributes, great things will happen. They will be able to overcome any bumps in the road and persevere through life no matter what!
