I became a teacher to help kids to be the best<strong> THEM</strong> they can be and to make learning fun for kids! I was motivated to write this book to not only inspire the kids in my classroom but hopefully to inspire SO MANY more. My mom always taught me that <em>you become what you believe</em> and I want every child to believe in themselves and believe they are great so they can be just that! ♡"</li> </ul> </li></ul><p><strong>To help cover Kiara Berry's publishing costs and enable her to donate more books to local libraries, consider funding her </strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/whichcape/which-cape-will-i-wear-today"><strong>Kickstarter campaign</strong></a><strong>.
