About the Book
​
I CAN... Just Try!
As the smallest girl in her class and ‘in the world’ (so she felt), little Terri had many moments where she thought she couldn’t do most things because she was just too little. She wouldn’t even try until one day her attitude shifted. Terri learned the power of saying “I Can” by just trying.
Many kids today are like Terri and struggle with believing in themselves. In fact, some children are so uncertain of themselves, they don’t even try. Terri is now ready to inspire children like herself, by leading by example.
This inspiring illustrated book shows how young Terri learns that she can do anything she sets her mind to, all she has to do is “Just Try.”
