How many remember this classic childhood favorite? This book teaches children a very important lesson that will stick with them the rest of their lives...believing in yourself. This was one of my favorite books as a child!! Sometimes we all feel like we can't do something and so we ask for help. But what if there is no one to help you? Do you just give up? This book tells children to persevere. To keep pushing, believing that you can. Believing in yourself is an invaluable lesson for any child to learn. They end up growing believing that they can, even when others tell them they can't. They have a positive attitude when faced with life's challenges. They believe that there are possibilities in what others may think is an impossible situation. They believe they can and they do. It's amazing.
So, when you are faced with an obstacle that may seem like it will hinder your growth...remember that little engine that needed to get over the mountain. Your problem/challenge/obstacle (whatever you choose to call it) is that mountain. Believe you can and you will get over it.
(A children's book with an important lesson that is valuable to children and adults of all ages. A true classic.)
