My Magical Choices - Teach Kids to Choose a Great Day with their Choices!

This was my choice as Mystery Reader for my child's Kindergarten class. I passed out little wands to each child and we read together. The suggestions in the back of the book give great ideas and context for an interactive experience. The hardcover was sturdy and glossy with vivid adorable drawings. The quality is excellent and the message was clear- you're in charge of your life, you're the magic behind your choices. It's a very good book for framing and mindset for children. I highly recommend this as a classroom book, as well as one for home. Note- This book will not offend anyone. It is kind and inclusive. My parents are very against anything magical, I am not, but they were not bothered by anything and really enjoyed the book. They're bothered by everything. Big win!

The book My Magical Choices is a book that positive choices and how important they are. This book give good examples of positive choices through the text and the illustrations uphold a beautiful watercolor design. From choosing to be helpful, responsible to being generous and even choosing to be calm and forgiving. This book is filled with great ideas and examples and times to engage your audience to add in their own ways they can utilize positive choices or give their own examples of good choices. This book is book two of seven of the series “The Magic of Me”. My Magical Choices is a wonderful childrens book filled with positivity and ways to make good choices for a child. The illustrator used the work magical instead of good to make it have more meaning and special to a child. The Illustrator created beautiful fantasy watercolor design and provided incredible inclusion of different children.

An awesome teaching book!! Great for 6 year olds.

“My Magical Choices” is a delightful and empowering book that teaches children the importance of making positive choices. The author beautifully illustrates how everyday decisions can shape a child’s day and overall outlook on life. This book is a must-have for any child’s library. It’s a wonderful resource for fostering a positive mindset and empowering children to make thoughtful choices every day.

My boys, 8 and 2, both love this book! It is vibrant and well designed. The message of YOUR CHOICES really stick out but not in a lecturing way. My favorite things about it are: 1. It is not a super short book. 15 lessons of Choices. It's long enough to get into it, but not too long that a child loses interest. 2. It was clearly created by a mom like myself, who put a lot of thought and love into it. 3. It teaches children to be thoughtful of others feelings and how to be responsible. 4. One of my favorite pages is the "Gentle" lesson. The line "Use your hands with grace and care. Be kind to pets when stroking their hair. With little friends you're careful too, nobody wants to get a boo-boo." This page is important to me because I'm super adamant about kids not being rough with animals and learning to control their impulses. Plus, as boys grow, they need to know the importance of respecting a woman this same way. 5. My other favorite page is the "Magic starts in you" lesson. The first line is "You are the captain of your own ship." Which reminds me of a poem I had to recite in Literature my Freshman year of highschool: 'Invictus' by William Ernest Henley... "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." I love that I can relate this book back to that poem, and instill into my children that THEY are in charge of the course their lives take. No one else is. Overall, this book is wonderful and I will be buying the other Magic of Me Series books!

Overall, I really liked this book! It does a great job of helping kids understand that they have choices in how they act and respond to different situations. The message is empowering and age-appropriate, and I appreciate how it encourages emotional awareness and personal growth. That said, there were a few moments where the examples of “being brave” could have been more carefully chosen. For instance, one page talked about needing bravery to eat vegetables. While I understand that many kids do struggle with this, it made my child—who actually likes vegetables—wonder if maybe they shouldn't. It raised the question of why someone would have to be brave for something they already enjoy, and it briefly confused the overall message. Still, the book is well-written, relatable for most kids, and a valuable tool for starting conversations about choices and behavior. I'd definitely recommend it—with a note that not every scenario will apply to every child.

Amazing book!!!! I read it to my 3 yr old and with my 7 year old. They enjoy the “I choose” statements. I’ve already shared it with two of my friends and I plan on getting the collection. Very well written and illustrated for children even for preschool age!!!!

The book held the child’s interest with the story and art work.
