Making Every Day Count
A year's worth of daily inspiration, affirmation, & advice helps kids face challenges, plan for the future, & appreciate their unique & wonderful qualities. In 1991, Free Spirit published MAKING THE MOST OF TODAY, a book of daily readings for young people on self-awareness, creativity, & self-esteem. Parents have praised it, teachers have used it in the classroom (some schools include the readings in their morning announcements) & countless young people have formed the habit of starting each day with the inspiration & affirmation found on its pages. In MAKING EVERY DAY COUNT, the focus is on problem solving, goal setting & feeling good about oneself. Each all-new entry includes a thought-provoking quotation, a brief essay & a positive "I"-statement that relates the entry to the reader's life. Some entries are serious; some are humorous; some offer step-by-step advice. All respect kids' needs & feelings & address their concerns with a focus on emotional health & well-being.
