The Birthday Cake

Kirsty is almost five years old. Her birthday is tomorrow and she wants to make her own birthday cake. She wants to make a princess cake which she and all her friends can enjoy. Now she needs a plan…..A storybook introducing children to the "I Know How" model for setting and achieving goals.

Making your dreams become realities – it’s a fundamental lesson of life, and one that many adults still struggle with. Our children are sometimes torn between the two extremes of impossible fantasies and abandoning hope. Pauline Young’s lovely book shows them another way. Every parent will want to celebrate this message with their child, and the book also elegantly shows parents how to do that effectively, as it tells your child the story of one child’s goal. Parents of little girls especially will appreciate being able to share this empowering message, which also reminds us that goals are not just selfish preoccupations but ways to experience the joy of life with others. The book is visually rich so that it can also be read by the child themself.”

"Wow! It's a really good book. I absolutely love Pauline's book. I love your I KNOW HOW model. It is so suitable for children and their parents. As a parent of 2 young children, I find it really helpful to be able to coach them instead of talking down to them. It's sound parenting advice. Thank you very much for the wake up call. It is what I need.“
