Do you have to be the loudest person to be confident?

Absolutely not!

Confidence – the second in the series of Handbooks for Little Humans from Zanni Louise and Affirm Press – is equally engaging and educational as its predecessor, Compassion. Trying the big slide, wearing your wacky socks or saying hello to a new person are just some of the examples that this book gives for feeling comfortable being yourself and helping others to also feel comfortable.

At just 24 pages with popping colours and fun illustrations, this book is the perfect length for conveying its key messages and not losing the reader. It’s a conversation to a child, reassuring them of their uniqueness and special place in the world. And my son’s favourite part? The relatable cartoon in the centre spread where Monkey helps Lion to find his roar.

Suitable for little humans aged 3 to 8 years.
