Synopsis

What if your child thought being a winner was only about trophies — and gave up the moment they lost?

In a world that pushes kids to perform and compare, too many little ones start to believe winning means never stumbling, never failing, never being scared. But true winning? It looks very different.

I’m a Winner Because I Am part of the award-winning Because I Am children’s book series is a resilience, perseverance, and self-confidence book for children ages 3–8. It shows kids that victory isn’t about medals — it’s about getting back on the bike, trying the puzzle again, facing stage fright, and choosing courage over quitting.

Follow our young hero through a heartwarming adventure where winning is discovered in:

• Falling down and getting back up stronger
• Tackling puzzles and challenges with persistence
• Braving fears, from tall slides to stage lights
• Finding joy in friendship, creativity, and everyday growth

Written and illustrated by Azizi Tuere — a homeschool mom of two daughters who wanted kids to know their worth goes beyond performance — this story helps children celebrate progress over perfection.

Why educators and families love it:

• Teaches perseverance in a playful, kid-friendly way
• Sparks conversations about resilience, grit, and courage
• Works beautifully in classrooms and homes for social emotional learning
• A keepsake story that reminds kids: you win by becoming more of yourself every day

✨ Don’t let the world tell your child that winning is only about gold stars. Show them the truth: every challenge is a chance to discover their strength.
