Book Review and Awards

"A psychologist and 25-year veteran in her field, Moss encourages her young audience to concentrate on two areas: focusing on inner self-esteem and building social confidence. Through procedure and practice--for instance, writing out strengths and weaknesses, role-playing scenarios, writing dialogue for impending social situations, and including family members and friends for support--Moss reminds kids that real confidence doesn't come from being the smartest, prettiest, or the most popular one in the room but from the comfort one has with him- or herself." --Booklist "This confidence-boosting read gives kids real-life lessons on how to get through the tough stuff of childhood..."--Scholastic Parent & Child
