TESTIMONIALS
This is a delightful book for those who love children and want to companion them in their simple everyday doings in a way that lets them do all they can, on their own and in their own rhythm.
This is the key that turns the lock to a child becoming fully alive, here and now and in the future too.
This book presents an artistic example of Dr. Maria Montessori's famous saying made on behalf of every child: “Help me to do it by myself.”

Daniela and Dina have succeeded in creating an engaging series of books for little ones. These sweetly illustrated and positive stories lead the child towards the power of self and how capable one can become with the gentle and patient support of a caring adult. I shared the stories with a few children in our clinic — they were easily engaged and enjoyed the rhythm of the text and relatable images. A wonderful addition to a parent's or educator's library!

Depicted in a series of bright, colourful and relatable images, this engaging book tells the story of a young child as he prepares for his day. The reader is introduced to this boy who projects a “can-do” attitude of independence, problem-solving and self-discovery. The pictures are clear and realistic to everyday objects and people doing familiar things, which allow for more enriched opportunities to develop a child's understanding of themselves, their environment and day-to-day expectations.

I Can Do It Myself is a delightful, fun, and purposeful children's book! Rhymes are always fun to read and the authors were able to brilliantly integrate an important concept for kids in a catchy and relevant poem. Children, whether they read or just look at the adorable illustrations, will surely build their self-confidence to do it themselves from this book!

A sweet illustration of the relationship between relying on self and relying on others.

I Can Do It Myself is a delightful tale about autonomy told from a child's perspective. A story that shows that with the proper guidance there is no limit to what our little ones can accomplish.
~ Jocelyne Cacciatore, Social Worker
What a welcome this three-book series is for parents, caregivers, and educators of children. Beginning with “Good morning, I love you,” in book one, and ending with “I feel happy and safe,” in book three, these little books encourage a child to "try, try, and try!"
Every child should experience the encouragement, excitement, and love that is portrayed through the amazingly colourful and animated illustrations that bring the little boy to life in our hearts.
To Daniela, Dina, and Michael, thank you for allowing us to hear and see the confidence that can be had by such a little one with the proper guidance and encouragement by all those who surround them.
