I Can...

I can, You can, We can is a rhyming picture book full of fun activities and ideas for you to enjoy with young children at home or at school.

Between 0 – 5 years children develop and change dramatically. Everything they see and everything we do is absorbed by them like a sponge. By giving children choices and listening to their decisions we strengthen their sense of self worth. If we value our children from the start they will value themselves for a lifetime.

The ‘I can, You can, We can’ attitude to life sets children off on the road to individual success from 0 – infinity!

The ‘I can, you can, we can’ picture book and accompanying teacher’s toolkit with song CD were commissioned by Sure Start and have been well received by children, parents and wild about words: I can ,You can, We canteachers across the U.K and overseas. The books are linked to the national curriculum and can be used by teachers to target each of the six foundation stage areas of learning.

At Government level the book has been noted for underpinning the Every Child Matters Report highlighting the need for children to be allowed to participate:

“……highlights the importance of early effective work in the early years of a child’s life and the impact of self esteem and life expectations on future life chances”
