An absolute must-have for anyone seeking to boost their confidence.
Soothing Stories for Grown Up Hearts: When I Know My Worth is a gentle collection spun by Laura Linn Knight. Aesthetic and rhythmic, the short tales take a poetic and educative approach, aiming to help readers connect with their inner child and parent that inner child with love and kindness. As a result, it will help remind us that we are worthy to tap into the extraordinary gifts that this unique universe offers us. Based on her experience as a former elementary school teacher and in-demand parenting educator, Laura takes adults and teenagers alike on a fantastical journey to find their value, providing a springboard for empowerment and healing. She provides five evidence-based tools that are well explained and pragmatic to help readers through a path of healing, embracing their self-worth, and recognizing their strengths and values. Fully aware of the power a read-out-loud picture book has on a child, she uses the same concepts in her text, working jointly with her illustrator, Paola Cifuentes. Whimsical and colorful illustrations permeate this book and fill in the words, ultimately helping to keep the narrative moving.
The lyrical prose, which combines the musicality and expressiveness of poetry, further evokes emotions and offers a unique sensory peek at what the author refers to as “experiencing the magic of life.” Its warm, empathetic, and non-patronizing tone makes this helpful gem easy to read and follow its steps, creating much-needed emotional resonance. The rich and layered descriptions—from a breeze rustling the trees to soaring in wings of shared delight—achieve much and this literary technique is bound to be appreciated by anyone who puts their hands on this book. Its brevity is its greatest strength, enhancing clarity and impact and allowing readers to pause and reflect on the intended message. A five-star meditation guide, When I Know My Worth by Laura Linn Knight is an absolute must-have for anyone seeking to boost their confidence without wading through long-winded traditional books. Its punchy sentences and its warm appeal deserve to be part of everyone’s morning or evening routine.
