A Letter to the parent
Thank you for investing in your child's self-esteem by purchasing this book which will motivate them from A-Z. Parents have a vital responsibility of instilling in each child the confidence and self-awareness of how unique and special they were created for this world. The children of the 21 Century need more than daily hugs and kisses to bring forth the greatness within them. Now more than ever, they greatly need an outpouring of inspirational, purposeful, and positive words. My hope is that this book meets that need.
Special Note: What does “I AM” mean?
“I AM” means you exist. “
I” is a first-person address to oneself, Me or Myself. “AM” is first person singular of Present Tense “Be”.

First, I would like to thank my father Freddie Harris, who never gave up on his dream of having all nine of his children graduate from High School and beyond. I Love you very much for pushing us beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary! I also would like to thank my sister
Pamela L. Harris and my brother Ronnie Harris for always being my writing muses.
Special Thanks to my phenomenal and encouraging family and friends who understand the power of surrounding yourself with other BIG Dreamers. Lastly, always meditate on Philippians 4:13 as a foundation for a successful life. (JT, I will always believe in YOU!)
I Say Who I Am, Without A Doubt!
Dear Children of the World,
You are uniquely made in this world with special talents and gifts to bring joy and love to every person that you meet. You are whole, great, adventurous, smart and so much more than your heart desires. Whenever you use the words “I AM”, you are allowing a higher level of courage and openness to all the good in this world you can embrace.
“I AM” means you exist. “I” is a first-person address to oneself, me or myself (THAT MEANS YOU!). “AM” is the first person singular of the present tense “Be”. Simply put, I AM is declaring to oneself who you are to become when you grow up (YOUR FUTURE YOU!).
I am so happy to provide this book to your moms and dads, and hopefully one day you will read this book to your own children.
Sincerely, Your Biggest Fan, Priscilla Harris
