When a little boy can't keep up with the other kids, his new friend Yeti reveals a trick that makes all the difference.

Some days it seems like everybody is bigger, stronger, and faster than you, and that has one little boy feeling blue. Fortunately, a surprising someone steps in to help--a big, hairy Yeti--along with some very impressive relatives: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and the Abominable Snow Monster! But it is Yeti who claims to be the most powerful one in his family, all because of . . . the POWER OF YETI! This is the power that comes with knowing you can succeed, but it will take time and effort. And thanks to Yeti’s words of encouragement, the boy starts looking at things in a new light. He doesn't know how to tie his shoelaces . . . YETi! And he's not great at making soccer goals . . . YETi! He might not be the biggest, strongest, or fastest kid on the playground, but it turns out he's still pretty powerful and full of potential--all because of the power of YETi.

The Power of Yeti was a cute way to convey the message of remaining positive and building self-esteem. This book is relatable for children young and old. Whenever the boy looks around he sees someone that is better, faster, and stronger than him and he feels bad. Then a Yeti comes to show him that he will grow and learn and become better with practice. If he can’t do something now, he just has to say not yeti and then keep practicing. I love the positive thinking and the funny way Yeti is used to be an uplifting message about potential. I can’t wait to share this book with children I think it will be a great resource in building self-confidence and patience within themselves.
