IR VERDICT:
Originally published in 1978 as A Message for My Child, THE POWERFUL YOU by Patrick and Ernesto Atkinson has be re-released to remind growing children that they are ultimately responsible for their words, actions, decisions and behaviors as they navigate life’s changing waters. Recommended for ages 9 to 13, the book is beautifully illustrated (by Ernesto Atkinson) and simple in text, with Spanish translation below English words. Proceeds are directed to children’s and women’s charities.
