Inspiring picture book series explores concepts crucial to a child's self-perception and worldview

MADISON, N.J. - EntSun -- Today's children face unprecedented challenges in social and emotional development. To address this critical need Let Your Light Shine Press announces the release of "The Because I Am" series, a collection of five picture books designed to help families nurture children's self-esteem and character. Author Azizi Tuere's storybooks feature diverse and empowering characters who provide confident declarations about their own inner beauty, imagination, creativity, gratitude, patience, and the true meaning of winning.

With each of her books, Tuere aims to inspire every child, starting from a very young age, to recognize their intrinsic value and unique qualities. She explains, "Words have undeniable power in shaping how children see themselves and their place in the world. By diving deep into the real meanings of concepts like beauty, genius, and winning, we're filling crucial gaps in children's understanding. When we see the good in ourselves and each other, we can create amazing things." Her books are designed to help families grow closer and build self-worth. Tuere states, "Strong, confident families don't just change lives - they build a better world."
