Comments & Reviews

The book resonates with me on so many levels. As an adult, I find it most valuable to see the full picture, not just look for easy fixes to my problems. I believe our minds, bodies, and emotions are all connected. Your book reminded me to truly listen and focus my attention inwards, not outwards—it's easy to forget this. As an educator, I believe the more tools a child has at an early age to navigate the world around them, the easier it will be for them to succeed. Your book offers a comprehensive list of A-Z strategies they can use repeatedly. If we focus on getting to know ourselves and tuning in to our own needs, we will become happier. Happier people make connections with others more easily, which makes it easier to work through issues and understand each other. In addition, we will feel more peaceful with ourselves and with others. Thank you for your book. It has been a wonderful reminder for both my personal life journey and teaching practice. — Teresa Hermoso, Primary Teacher (PYP)

I love the concept of the book, especially with the prompts at the end and the way the stories elevate the idea. The multicultural perspective is so inviting too! Children can truly 'see' themselves. Thank you for sharing it with me — I look forward to sharing it with the children! — Dr. Lucy Haddock, Assistant Head of Primary / PYP Coordinator

Building Awareness from A to Z is an incredible resource that has positively impacted my work as both an educator and a parent. In the classroom, its multicultural perspective resonates with children, allowing them to see themselves in the stories and fostering a sense of belonging. It’s a fantastic tool that I’m excited to use with my students and for my own personal growth. The book excels in presenting simple stories and concepts that make self-awareness accessible to children, parents, and educators alike. Its easy-to-understand approach encourages active engagement with self-awareness in various settings, whether at school or at home. Overall, Building Awareness from A to Z is a must-have for anyone looking to promote personal growth and self-awareness in children. I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow educators, parents, and caregivers. — Susan B., Primary Teacher, Mother of Two (ages 7 and 5)
