About This Book
'Absolutely Almost' tells the story of Albie, a thoughtful and relatable boy who struggles with self-esteem, feeling perpetually 'almost' good enough at everything from academics to sports. As he navigates the challenges of a new school year, friendships, and family dynamics, Albie learns to appreciate his unique qualities and understand that his worth isn't tied to being the best. This chapter book, suitable for ages 8-11 for independent reading or younger as a read-aloud, offers a gentle and empathetic exploration of identity, resilience, and the importance of self-acceptance. It's an excellent choice for opening conversations about feeling different or struggling with confidence.
