Twelve picture books about confidence, resilience, and self-belief — written by award-winning Australian author Jess Sanders and published by Affirm Press, one of Australia's leading independent publishers.

This collection includes 2 copies each of 6 titles, making it ideal for kindergarten and prep classrooms where paired reading, book corner lending, and group discussions are part of the daily program. Having two copies of each title means children can read alongside each other — which is exactly what these books are designed for.

Each story tackles a theme that comes up regularly in early childhood settings: trusting yourself, accepting your body, knowing you're enough, finding strength in vulnerability, and pushing through hard things. The kind of messages educators return to again and again, especially with children navigating big transitions or big feelings.

12 books for $30 — just $2.50 per book, the best value per book in our range, compared to an RRP of around $10 each.

Supports EYLF Outcome 3 — Children have a strong sense of wellbeing — through stories that build self-confidence, emotional resilience, and children's belief in their own capabilities.

Popular for: prep and kindergarten classrooms, transition to school programs, paired reading activities, and end-of-year gifts.
