"When I heard that a gold medal Paralympian and a child MENSA member had teamed up to write a book about life skills, I obviously had to read it! Filled with tips to help develop executive functioning skills like organization, defining success for yourself, and developing positive self-talk. I like the way this book is broken down into small bites, and interspersed with personal anecdotes from both Danielle and Nathan. The book covers some self-reflection questions for the reader, like deciding what you're passionate about and different goal-setting strategies in order to accomplish them. Addressing failure too, is so important and having a growth mindset about it and emphasizing each person's unique contributions to the world. I like the illustrations that break up the text, and the quotes by well-known public figures like Beyonce and Serena Williams (because honestly, if those two powerhouses can't inspire you, who can?). The book is along the same vein as the series by Jamie Wilson & Andrea Pippins, if you're familiar with those (Step Into Your Power & Big Ideas for Young Thinkers)! I love the emphasis on being kind to yourself and to others, but finding the line between being taken advantage of and helping others whenever you can."https://www.instagram.
