One of the toughest aspects of any new situation is making connections with new people and figuring out the rhythms of a new place. That’s probably why “you can sit with me” is a phrase that feels more like a lifeline in the tender first days of school. No matter their age, people relate to the panic felt when it’s time to find a place to sit. A script for young people and a reminder for older folks, You Can Sit With Me is a great way to prepare hearts and minds to make space for new friends and ensure no one is without a place to sit.

Every stage of life has its pitfalls and struggles, and the constant cycle can beat you down. Unless, of course, you can harness the power of the magical yet. As each challenge rears its head, this book reminds you to envision the success you want to see, working slowly toward any goal, be it tying your shoes or speaking in public.

A phrase anyone could use on their way to the first day of anything, You’ve Got This encourages and affirms the reader. The rhythmic text and detailed illustrations bolster the repetition of the title phrase, making this a delightful read aloud. No matter the trial being faced, the warm refrain will fill you with a boost of confidence. You’ve got this.
