This book is about achieving your goals and reaching to your highest aspirations. It talks about all of the places that you can go and all of the things that you can do when you just believe in you. This would be a great book for a Kindergarten classroom to talk about self-confidence or doing your

For the person who cannot find a copy of Oh, the Places You'll Go to buy for a graduate, here's an alternative.

I like this book just for the bear. The story seemed to be a "Get out of our house, you freeloader!" from your parents kind of book.

This is a cute book about boosting someones confidence and congratulating them on an achievement.
