I’m Gonna Push Through!
by Jasmyn Wright (Author) and Shannon Wright (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Inspired by a mantra written for her third-grade students, this call to “push through” is an invitation to young readers to announce their own power and to recognize and reaffirm that of others, regardless of setbacks. These empowering words not only lift children up, but show them how to lift themselves up and seize their potential.
