If you teach a beaver to build confidence... he just might build a dream.
In this heartwarming SEL picture book, a determined little beaver learns that mistakes don't mean failure-they're part of the building process. When his dam springs a leak and his log cabin plans roll out of control, he starts to doubt himself. But with encouragement, teamwork, and a few shiny pebbles for flair, he learns that real confidence comes from within.
Perfect for children ages 4-8, If You Teach a Beaver to Build Confidence teaches kids:
That self-worth doesn't depend on perfection
That asking for help is a strength, not a weakness
How to celebrate their own unique style and progress
Written by award-winning counselor and author Portia Smith, this playful story supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in classrooms, therapy, and at home.
Whether your child is nervous about trying something new or struggling with self-esteem, Benny the Beaver's journey will inspire them to believe in themselves-one branch at a time.
