A Picture Book That Inspires Kids To Do Anything

Hiya!

Us kids have the most wonderful imaginations, right? We play pretend and believe ourselves to be an archeologist studying artifacts or a veterinarian helping animals. When you are little like us, there are no limits to what you can be and do! But, every now and then, a tiny voice comes in our heads that says we can’t do something or be someone. (We’re told grown-ups get this voice in their heads, too).

In the recent book, I Can Be Anything! Don’t Tell Me I Can’t, author and illustrator Diane Dillon tells the tale of Zoe, a young girl exploring the different professions she can be when she grows up. Throughout the book, Zoe combats a negative little voice in her head that says, “But what if you fail?” Zoe heroically tells the voice things like, “Go away, voice… I can be anything… but first, I have to learn to read. And don’t tell me I can’t!”

You go, Zoe! Through her experience, we can learn to not give too much power to our negative thoughts. That if we have confidence and faith in ourselves, we can make all our dreams come true!

Gululu Is Helping Kids Drink More Water

Hiya!

We love thoughtful products that benefit kids… especially when they are products that keep kids drinking clean water! Gululu is doing just that. They created these super cool interactive water bottles that have children care for virtual pets. As the child drinks more water, their virtual pet grows and makes friends. It’s so fun! Plus, Gululu’s bottles are a great way to target the problems that come from dehydration like fatigue, obesity, and lack of concentration—all things that make learning difficult.

The brand just came out with their Gululu Go line that is smaller, lighter, and easier for kids to carry. Also, these new bottles come with a sound speaker that lets the virtual pets talk with children.

Best of all, each purchase of a Gululu bottle provides one child in a developing country with clean drinking water for life. The company partnered up with Generosity.org to make this happen. Isn’t that awesome?
