Affirmations to the Game of Life: School Edition by Derrick Frazier is a heartwarming and empowering book that speaks directly to young readers—especially those who may feel unseen, misunderstood, or bullied. The book creatively combines storytelling and positive affirmations to help children build confidence, self-worth, and resilience.
One standout feature of the book is its inclusive representation, highlighting people of African descent in both the characters and illustrations. This intentional representation makes the book especially meaningful for young readers who don’t often see themselves reflected in literature.
The affirmations throughout the book are uplifting and encouraging. They serve as gentle reminders that you are enough, you matter, and you have the power to shape your life—even when school feels tough or unfair.
I truly loved the entire book. There weren’t any parts I disliked. It’s beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written from start to finish.
I highly recommend Affirmations to the Game of Life to students, educators, and parents alike. It’s especially helpful for any child who has experienced bullying or self-doubt. This book is more than just a story—it’s a tool for healing, encouragement, and self-love.
