The Power of Self-D
by Kip Jones
Illustrated by Chad Isely
Motivate kids in grades 3-7 to work hard, set goals, and find good role models by presenting the story of Willie Bohanon. Recite the "Self-D Rap" provided at the end of the story to help students remember, practice and apply the tips that Willie and his friends discover. Willie knows self-determination is a key to success. Too bad his closest friends don’t think so. They struggle to set the simplest of goals. Even Willie, despite a strong family and awesome role models, sometimes loses focus and gives up. Luckily for him and his pals, a mentor teaches them about SWAG – Self-determination, Working hard, Ambition and Guidance.

Review
“Everyone is writing their life story with the decisions they make and the actions they take. Reading great stories that challenge you to think about the decisions and choices that will shape their lives is one thing children and their parents can do that will help them write a better life story of their own. Kip Jones is on to something here. He’s giving young people what they need to make better choices. With the right choices and actions Anything Is Possible.” – Hallerin Hilton Hill, Executive Producer/Host Anything Is Possible
