ITBOM = I'm The Boss Of Me

On the cover of our International Award Winning Book,  ITBOM, A Primer for Kids - A Reminder for Adults, we feature the kids on the very first page of 3 of our books - the Primer, Board Book & Spanish versions!

The first 13 pages are the same in this book, The Board Book, and the Spanish book! Page 14 in this book picks up the rhyme and continues along…

Page 15 has 3 different singers! Can you say, “Whale songs”? LOL! Our diverse children continue to dance & sing and be GREAT BOSSES of their bodies!

And on Page 16, our super hero has the imagination and courage to do ANYTHING! They are amazing little ones these kiddos! Just like our honey bees!

Then on our last page, we reiterate the message that all kids can be GREAT BOSSES of themselves. (Otherwise a safe grownup will have to step in and NO KID wants THAT to happen! LOL)

Our ITBOM® Body is another of our International Award Winning Books, and this one is also Professionally Endorsed by renowned child psychologist, Dr. Amy Fortney Parks!

The premise of ITBOM® Body  is set up on the first 4 pages and then the theme is carried out throughout the book with empowering concepts.

Great minds have great ideas! And great minds are usually great readers! And dolphins are one of the smartest animals in our world, just like our kiddos!

Teaching children that they need to make good choices is the underlying premise behind ALL the ITBOM® Books! 

CHOICES are the most important things anyone can make! Grownups too!!

And kiddos are always the boss of themselves, even when making bad choices... So a safe grownup may need to step in to redirect and teach the youngster if they make a bad or unsafe choice.

"I endorse the ITBOM® premises of personal accountability, inclusive diversity, and body autonomy and strongly advocate for individuals to be "The Boss Of Their Brain & Body." ~ Dr. Amy Fortney Parks

Page 1 starts with a group of happy friends, the number 1 at the top right, and a puppy down in the corner.

"What does the puppy say?"

Another group of friends smile on page 2 as an octopus in the corner looks on with this brightly colored orange background.

"Let's count the smiling faces!"

The wiggling toes set up the rhymes for the rest of the book (you'll have to buy the book to see what we mean...) starting on page 3. 

"What color is the fish?"

And the last 2 colorful, celebratory, & supportive pages of the book 

(see the shark & the lion in the corners cheering us on?) 

state the goal and the main lesson:

"I want EVERYONE to see,
I'm a GREAT BOSS of ME

These are great suggestions for how to read this book out loud to your little one. 

But don't let it stop there!  

Keep engaging & coming up with new ways to make this 

ITBOM® reading time the BEST time you have together all day!

This 13 page 8x8 book was written in Spanish for all of our Spanish speakers and Spanish Learners! They are Boss-Some!

The Kids start out this book too! And its the exact same 13 pages as the other two books translated into Spanish!

Being the Boss of your mind… For some children this is a brand new concept! As your children get older you can explain how the mind works! Soooo Cool!

And the same positive ending, for all our Boss-Some Bosses in the world! ¡Yo Soy mi propio GRAN jefe!

Here you can learn about our Author, Illustrator & Translator!  Everyone was very excited to pull this series together in Spanish!
