"I can't do it!"

How often does a parent hear that during their kids' childhoods?

It is so frustrating and painful to hear those words from your child. The best way a parent can help is to equp our kids with tools they can use to break through this negativity and develop confidence that they have the skills to solve life's big and little challenges.

This is why we created the Tales of the Five Enchanted Mermaids books. Each of the five Mermaids represents a different area of emotional intelligence and, through these stories, they present practical solutions that your child can carry with them and use in their own lives.

In You Can Do It! Otto the octopus works through his frustrations as he learns to use blocks to build a house, with assistance from the Mermaids. Each Mermaid helps him tackle one aspect of the challenge and come up with several possible ways to solve it. The format of this book acts as a conversation starter and makes it easy to transition into a real world discussion about additional solutions your child may have.

With the book's charming and lighthearted illustrations, you and your child will know exactly how Otto is feeling as he works through the process and then eventually reaches a successful outcome.

You Can Do It! is the first book in a series of picture books for children 4 to 7 years of age. If you and your children like unique stories that help develop emotional intelligence and a growth mindset, you'll love these books.
