Children identify themselves with many different strengths according to their different social circles. We can't be good at everything. Yet, being good at something, whether it be a sport or kindness or generosity or humour can help children find where they belong, and help them become confident in themselves. I Identify is a book written to show all the ways children identify themselves and others in their social circles: by their strengths and talents. Children identify themselves by many characteristics: kind, fast, brave, funny, musical, stylish, creative... and they recognize those same strengths and talents in their friends and peers. This is a book written in love, for the love of children. To remind them and ourselves to focus on the positive that we see in them. That they are perfectly made on purpose for a purpose. It is always important to focus on a child's strengths. I hope that children will see themselves in at least one character in this book, and will also be able to point out other children that they recognize for the strengths they possess! Excerpt from I Identify by Erin McCormack: "I identify as smart. I may find some work intimidating, but once I make myself understand then it becomes easy and I can help my friends understand too. I identify as musical. I don't play any instruments, but I can listen to music and remember all the words to all the songs and I will sing them at the top of my lungs when I am all alone." Praise for the book: "We live in a society where the topic of identity can be confusing and scary. In her book, 'I Identify,' Erin McCormack addresses the subject of identity for children in a simple and profound way that all who read can benefit from. McCormack demonstrates that identity is a broad term as well as a personal one but most of all, identity is accessible to everyone. This book is a solid foundation for children to build on their sense of self and who they are as a child of God created with unique gifts, talents and strengths."
