My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I Can Handle It! is not only a cute book and fun to read, but it can help children to handle anything. It should help them to incorporate the “I can handle it” mantra into their lives. Even now, I remember the frustration I felt sometimes as a child when upset or cranky and not knowing how to deal with it. This book has great suggestions for children to try and handle anything on their own!

Each issue starts with I’m <name of the issue> when... For example: I’m sad when my best friend is mad at me. I can handle it. The next page lists ways Sebastien comes up with to deal with the issue. In this case: I can give him a hug. I can try to make him laugh. I can draw a picture! I can handle it. Each suggestion has a picture of Sebastien acting it out. It’s adorable! Not all of Sebastien’s solutions are serious. Some may cause a giggle or two, but that makes the book more fun!

I highly recommend I Can Handle it! It’s a great resource, and it’s easy to read so that children can go back to it again and again.
