Carlos Garcia reveals the I AM Alphabet Coloring Book dropping June 2nd. Learn why positive affirmations for kids matter and how to secure your copy.

I just got this in the mail, and I had to sit with it for a minute. The I AM Alphabet Coloring Book is the real deal—not some gimmick, but something that actually matters if you care about how the next generation thinks about themselves.

Here's the thing: most kids grow up hearing what they can't do. They hear it from school, from comparison, from the internet. But when you're young, your brain is literally absorbing the stories you tell yourself. That's not motivational poster talk—that's how neuroplasticity works. If a kid spends time with a coloring book that reinforces "I am capable," "I am creative," "I am strong"—that's laying foundation.

I'm not saying a coloring book fixes everything. But I've watched enough young men come through Success Scholars to know that the difference between someone who makes it and someone who gets stuck often comes down to how they see themselves early on. When you believe you're worth the effort, you actually put in the effort.

The I AM Alphabet Coloring Book takes each letter and connects it to an affirmation that kids can color, repeat, and actually internalize. A is "I Am Able." B is "I Am Brave." It sounds simple because it is. But simple doesn't mean it doesn't work. I've learned that from mentoring—the best lessons are usually the ones that stick because they're clear and actionable.

What made me want to create this was realizing how many young people—and honestly, their parents—never had permission to feel good about themselves without guilt or shame attached. You color, you reflect, you repeat. It becomes part of how you think about your day.

The book drops June 2nd, and if you're a parent, educator, or someone who cares about a kid in your life, this is worth paying attention to. I'm not saying buy it because I made it. I'm saying buy it because building confidence early saves someone from years of unnecessary struggle later. That's just the math of how humans develop.

If you want to be among the first to grab a copy when it launches, sign up at successscholars.com/books. You'll get notified the day it drops, and you won't miss it.

The real work of personal development doesn't start at 22 when someone's already built bad habits and doubt. It starts when you're young enough to believe you can actually become who you want to be. The I AM Alphabet Coloring Book is a tool for that.

Grab your copy on June 2nd. Give it to someone who needs to hear it.
