The book affirms each child's role in the world and holds them accountable for the energy they bring each day.

From early on, children are looking to discover their life purpose.

By using affirmative words in their daily lives, children can learn to uplift themselves and develop a thriving self-system. "God whispered your name, long before you came. The world, without you, would not be the same. To set into motion the path you want to walk remember, start each day with positive self-talk."
