Congrats on BOTD!
It is admirable that a children's book focuses on encouraging and motivating kids to have self-confidence. Additionally, I appreciate that each chapter concludes with a portion where kids can put what they have learned into practice. It is wonderful to support children in acquiring an optimistic outlook.

The book has so many admirable moral lessons for young readers. I appreciated the author's technique in delivering his messages and his writing style. Although I believe the book is more suitable for children aged 10 and older. This is an excellent review!

It is important for children to feel valued and to have confidence in themselves at an early age, and this book does that. Thank you for your review.

Considering the ages of the readers who can enjoy this book, I feel like some of the words used may be a nut to crack unless an adult is aiding them. I think that the author should have created a glossary where these words could have been explained. Replacing "I" with "EYE" was creative, but some children may think it is a norm if not properly guided.

I was thinking exactly the same. I always advocate for children's books to be meticulous in their grammar and spelling because kids can't distinguish a mistake. They're modeling their writing after this.
But it's a nice, inspirational message.
Great review!

This book is quite distinctive. Children's books that are inspirational without even a hint of fiction or made-up stories are uncommon. The morals in this novel are excellent. I'd suggest this book to young readers. Your review was enlightening!

The sample pages were a beautiful reminder to children of all the extraordinary qualities each one of us has. The affirmations are a lovely way to reach out to children. I especially like the one dealing with the loss of a loved one; it will help children talk about similar instances in their life. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I think it's obvious that children are the future, so instilling goodness and confidence in them from a young age is incredibly important. I think this sounds like a really great book!

This is definitely an amazing book for children. They should be taught to have confidence in themselves at a young age as this will help a lot when they grow into adults.

This is a good book that can inspire kids to see the great qualities within themselves and also help others to recognize their own light and purpose. I like the interactive portions of the book. I am curious to know why the author used the word Eye instead of I. Does that have a special meaning? Great job on the book review!

I personally love motivational books especially for the young like children. I love them because they help keep them motivated and away from mental illnesses like depression and others. This is a nice review.

Having a healthy mindset is a requirement for succeful and effective living, and a great weapon to withstand the negative situations that tend to show up in life. Having a book like EYE AM to teach and guide young minds is a blessing indeed. Every child who reads this book with proper guidance from an adult will empowered to avoid unnecessary pain and trauma that we bring to ourselves by reason of a negative mindset and lack of confidence. I recommend parents and teachers to get this book for their young ones. Thanks for this review
