In "I Can Handle It!", the first book in the popular Mindful Mantras series, Laurie Wright introduces Seb, a relatable young boy facing the everyday "disasters" of childhood. From losing a favorite toothbrush to dealing with a rainy day, Seb shows kids that while they can’t control everything that happens, they can control how they react.
Through clever, rhythmic repetitions and imaginative problem-solving, children learn to flip the script on negative thinking. This book isn't just a story; it's a practical mental health tool that equips 4–9 year olds with the emotional regulation skills they need to navigate life’s little hiccups with confidence and grit.
★★★★★ "This book is wonderful! It's perfect for children who have intense emotional reactions to problems. I love the phrase "I can handle it" as a mantra to encourage kids to think about their options before reacting."
★★★★★ "This book is awesome for parents to read with their kids and has potential for more stories like it! It’s best read slowly and with discussion in between each situation because there is so much that can come from each one."
★★★★★ "We need to give our kids the ability to see their own strength. They can handle anything. This is a very lovely read. I recommend it!"
