My Magical Choices - Teach Kids to Choose a Great Day with their Choices!

This was my choice as Mystery Reader for my child's Kindergarten class. I passed out little wands to each child and we read together. The suggestions in the back of the book give great ideas and context for an interactive experience. The hardcover was sturdy and glossy with vivid adorable drawings. The quality is excellent and the message was clear- you're in charge of your life, you're the magic behind your choices. It's a very good book for framing and mindset for children. I highly recommend this as a classroom book, as well as one for home. Note- This book will not offend anyone. It is kind and inclusive. My parents are very against anything magical, I am not, but they were not bothered by anything and really enjoyed the book. They're bothered by everything. Big win!

My boys, 8 and 2, both love this book! It is vibrant and well designed. The message of YOUR CHOICES really stick out but not in a lecturing way. My favorite things about it are: 1. It is not a super short book. 15 lessons of Choices. It's long enough to get into it, but not too long that a child loses interest. 2. It was clearly created by a mom like myself, who put a lot of thought and love into it. 3. It teaches children to be thoughtful of others feelings and how to be responsible. 4. One of my favorite pages is the "Gentle" lesson. The line "Use your hands with grace and care. Be kind to pets when stroking their hair. With little friends you're careful too, nobody wants to get a boo-boo." This page is important to me because I'm super adamant about kids not being rough with animals and learning to control their impulses. Plus, as boys grow, they need to know the importance of respecting a woman this same way. 5. My other favorite page is the "Magic starts in you" lesson. The first line is "You are the captain of your own ship." Which reminds me of a poem I had to recite in Literature my Freshman year of highschool: 'Invictus' by William Ernest Henley... "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." I love that I can relate this book back to that poem, and instill into my children that THEY are in charge of the course their lives take. No one else is. Overall, this book is wonderful and I will be buying the other Magic of Me Series books!

Amazing book!!!! I read it to my 3 yr old and with my 7 year old. They enjoy the “I choose” statements. I’ve already shared it with two of my friends and I plan on getting the collection. Very well written and illustrated for children even for preschool age!!!!

Wonderful Message and a Great Series I absolutely love My Magical Choices and the whole series! The book is filled with positive messages that are easy for kids to understand, and it encourages kindness, confidence, and emotional awareness. The illustrations are bright and engaging, and it’s a joy to read aloud. A great tool for helping kids learn to make thoughtful, empowering choices. Highly recommend!

this book takes kids on a ride of choices. my 7 year old likes it

Overall, I really liked this book! It does a great job of helping kids understand that they have choices in how they act and respond to different situations. The message is empowering and age-appropriate, and I appreciate how it encourages emotional awareness and personal growth. That said, there were a few moments where the examples of “being brave” could have been more carefully chosen. For instance, one page talked about needing bravery to eat vegetables. While I understand that many kids do struggle with this, it made my child—who actually likes vegetables—wonder if maybe they shouldn't. It raised the question of why someone would have to be brave for something they already enjoy, and it briefly confused the overall message. Still, the book is well-written, relatable for most kids, and a valuable tool for starting conversations about choices and behavior. I'd definitely recommend it—with a note that not every scenario will apply to every child.

An awesome teaching book!! Great for 6 year olds.

The book held the child’s interest with the story and art work.

This book is beautifully written and it teaches the children that they always have a choice to do nice things and how the nice things they do affect other children or people in a positive way. The illustrations are lovely. My children loved it and we were talking about each page of the book.

My Magical Choices is a beautiful book showing that you have the power and choice towards how you react and behave in situations, the magic to be you. On each page it starts with 'I choose' which children can be encouraged to repeat. I think this is a really lovely idea as the more they repeat it the more they'll believe it's true! The book has a range of things children could choose to do shown in a positive light like be honest, be generous, be tidy. With each choice there is a little rhyme which is a very fun way to get the message across to the children as they love rhyming books. The illustrations are gorgeous with a range of characters showing examples of these choices throughout the book. On some pages we get to see a negative (e.g. an item broken by football) but the positive is always much more noticeable which is great as it children understand and see a good choice made by the character. This is a fantastic book which demonstrates lots of positive choices children could make and encourages them to think about the magic they have. A brilliant and inspiring read for young children.

This is the very first book after first time of subscribing my kindle. Really I want to read this books with my kids. More positive words and sentences make them more confident.

This book is beautiful. It includes so many important life lessons for children, in a fun, colourful and eye catching way. The illustrations really help bring this beautiful story to life!

I have read most of this author’s books. They never disappoint me. The best lesson children can get from her books is to love themselves.
