Children who sometimes get easily discouraged or often say "I can't" and need a little (but magical!) boost to believe in their abilities. It is the ideal book to help children understand the importance of effort and persistence in achieving their goals, no matter how difficult they may seem at first. An excellent opportunity for parents and educators to start a discussion about self-confidence, facing challenges, and the power of a "growth mindset".

• With a sweet and expressive Yeti as the hero, with which children easily identify, it conveys the important message of the "growth mindset" in a playful and direct way.
• Marina Gioti, as an author and illustrator, creates a story and images full of warmth, optimism, humor, and tenderness.
• It teaches children the "magic" word "yet" and how this small addition can turn the feeling of failure or difficulty into a positive outlook on learning and development.
• It encourages self-confidence, resilience in the face of difficulties, and belief in their own unique abilities.
• It is a multi-award-winning book (Public Award 2021 in the category of Greek Children's Literature) that inspires both young and old not to give up easily and to see challenges as stepping stones to success.

Hardcover book with 40 pages, featuring the beautiful, vivid, and expressive illustrations by Marina Gioti, perfectly capturing the emotions of the little Yeti and his magical, snowy world.

• Ideal tool for discussing the challenges we all face in everyday life or in learning new things, and how we can overcome them with patience, practice, and a positive attitude.
• Helps children reframe negative thoughts (such as "I can't" or "I'm unlucky") into more positive and empowering perspectives (e.g., "I can't yet, but I'll try again," "I'll succeed next time").
• Can be used to encourage effort and progress in children, not just final success or outcome.

Inspired by the book, you can:

• Discuss: Why did the Yeti believe he couldn't do various things (like skiing, making a big snowman, or skating)? What did the wise owl tell him that helped? How did the magic word "yet" make him feel and how did it change his way of thinking?
• Ask the child: Is there something you think you "can't" do now? How would it be if you said "I can't yet"? What could you do to achieve it the next time you try?
• Create: Make a list or drawings of things you "couldn't do before, but now you can" (e.g., tying your shoelaces, riding a bike) and a list of things you "can't yet," but want to try and achieve in the future.

Parents who loved "Yeti" report that it is an educational book that manages to convey to children the important message that it's okay if we don't succeed immediately, as long as we have the will and keep trying.
