Synopsis

What if your child believed being a genius meant having all the answers — and gave up when they didn’t?

Too many kids grow up thinking “smart” means test scores and right answers. But real genius? It’s in cardboard boxes that become spaceships, in puppet shows that make people laugh, in kitchen experiments that get messy (and delicious). Genius is curiosity that never quits.

I’m a Genius Because I Am part of the award-winning Because I Am children’s book series is a growth mindset, creativity, and self-confidence book for children ages 3–8. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about discovering how everyday wonder makes them brilliant — just as they are.

Follow our young hero through a playful adventure where genius is found in:

• Imagination that turns boxes into rockets
• Curiosity that sees forests in a single seed
• Creativity that invents new games with friends
• Courage to try (and fail) in order to grow

Written and illustrated by a homeschool mom of two daughters who wanted every child to know their ideas matter, this story helps kids build the confidence to explore, create, and dream big.

Why educators, parents and grandparents love it:

• Makes kids proud of their unique spark
• Helps reframe mistakes as part of genius
• Includes fun prompts for “I am a genius because…” declarations
• A keepsake story to nurture a growth mindset early

✨ Don’t let the world convince your child that genius only lives in textbooks. Show them the truth: their imagination is the paintbrush of endless possibilities.

"This is a great story to build self-awareness, innovative thinking, and confidence in one’s own abilities" - review by Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite
