In this, the first book of the "Jourdan's Journeys" series, Jourdan shares what he heard while perched on the sill of an open window - positive self-affirmations and scriptures to help build self-esteem and self-image. Jourdan wants to know: What do you say to yourself that reminds you of how beautiful and wonderful you are?
"In a world where imagination and fairytale imagery are still the key for embedded lessons that shape the character and minds of young children, Patricia Lewis has nailed it with "Jourdan's Journeys." Not only will the children be enchanted with the character "Jourdan," but will be left with a renewed strength to accept themselves as purposed and valued."
-Dr. Louise Goings, Retired Educator
"I enjoyed accompanying Jourdan on his journey. He discovers so much about himself and others along the way. Young readers will do the same. This is the perfect book for shared reading time! Patricia does a masterful job of showing how resilience and representation matter."
-Dr. Gregory Seaton, Ph.D. Educational Researcher
