I Am Powerful is an empowering children's book about how nature reflects our own true and powerful nature back to us. The trees, clouds, birds, sun and moon all have things to teach us about who we really are. This book introduces children to the simple, beautiful affirmation I Am Powerful."Beautiful nature paintings link the mother's insights to a child's realization of various types of power already within, creating an evocative and ethereal read that mothers can use to not just interact with a child, but build a better awareness of self and strengths.Any parent seeking ways of using higher-level thinking as an early learning tool will find I Am Powerful offers just the right blend of call-and-response and introspective advice to help adults and children engage on a more meaningful level. It's a highly recommended pick for parents who want to encourage young children in such discussions and thought processes.D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Her question sets off a playful journey that speaks to the power of deep listening, wonder, and gratitude. This is a tale about the spirit of giving, making offerings, and appreciating our connection to the natural world. This story is an ode to the trees, to the divine mother earth we walk upon, and to the beauty of a grateful heart.

Take a walk through the woods with mother and child and discover all the ways in which you are powerful. The inviting illustration and prose will capture you and your child's spirit.
