"This book is a must for both children and adults. I Loved It Too Much. I have paid thousands of dollars to coaches to help me visualize my dreams. My Father Said I Could does the same thing."

Annette Benging

"Father Said I Could harkens the necessity for positive affirmations. This book is a wonderful illustration of capturing the dream in each of us and believing that we can. Others will be able to relate to the characters as I was able to relate to Ana. We believe in what our Father says we can do. "

Darlene LoVell Kinchen

“My Father Said I Could are the strongest and most empowering words we can ever speak and believe. But Anita does not just leave it at that; while equipping and empowering our children, and introducing them to writing the vision down, she engages and trains parents how to promote and support this. I daresay, some adults will reach back, brush off their own dreams, stand a little taller, and dare to go forward quoting, My Father Said I Could!"

Dr. Sandra Steen

"This book is a must-read for every child. An awesome story told with simplicity and impact. The real brilliance of this book is the multi-generational impact which will be relevant for both the parent and the child. So whether you are the adult constantly evolving in your purpose, or the young child developing in your purpose...this book has a story that inspires everyone. So grateful for the author's creativity, and prophetic insight which birth such a beautiful work. This book is a real game-changer!"

Dr. Michele Deering

"I have so looked forward to Anita's book being released. Her heart of hope and caring for young children -- especially children of color -- is evident with the way she writes. Her care for a child's identity & confidence to be steadfastly rooted and ground in something unshakable cannot be overlooked in a time when young people are bombarded with so much (via media messages) that tells them that they are lacking. My Father Said I Could, even for me as an adult with children, is a wonderful reminder of how much I'm loved which makes "all things...possible" and how much "...my hope is built on nothing less." If you care about your children's development, buy this book."
