ÒChildren should be lifted up with encouraging words. As parents, it is our responsibility and duty to speak life into our children -- for they are the ones who will pave the way for our future. It is my hope that the I AM THE ABCÕs book will help moms, dads, and guardians alike to instill -- in every young boy and girl -- an inner confidence of knowing within themselves, I Am Somebody. It is imperative that children know without a doubt that their life is significant, and the world is waiting for their gifts to be used.Ó ~ Amanda
