Twelve picture books about confidence, resilience and self-belief, written by award-winning Australian author Jess Sanders and published by Affirm Press.

This collection includes two copies each of six titles, which makes it ideal for preschool, kindergarten and prep classrooms where paired reading, book-corner lending and group discussion are part of the daily program. Two copies of each 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: trusting yourself, accepting your body, knowing you're enough, finding strength in vulnerability, and pushing through hard things.
