Why read it?

1 author picked I Am Courage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is powerful to take “I can’t” and turn it into “I can.” There are so many things we all can’t do because of a lack of resources, skills, time, or desire. But, if we focus on what we can do, we can still make progress. Even as an adult, I love reading picture books like this as a gentle reminder to keep going, keep trying, and keep living courageously. 

From Tasha's list on how to live courageously.
