About The Books
“Daddy Is Not Listening!” continues the journey of self-empowerment for children.
The second book in Channa Bannis’s self-empowerment series picks up where I Love The Me I See left off, this time shining a light on self-awareness. From a child’s perspective, it’s a playful yet powerful reminder that emotions can be tricky. For parents and caregivers, it’s an invitation to nurture emotional awareness with patience and presence.
Together, this story helps families turn everyday moments into powerful lessons of shared growth.
“I Love the Me I See” is about building self-love through learning and aspirations.
This is the debut book in Channa Bannis’s self-empowerment series for children. Each page is a vibrant canvas seeded with encouragements of self-worth, community learning, and aspirational fortitude. Toddlers to elementary school-aged children are encouraged to build resilience and self-confidence beyond socially constructed perceptions and limitations.
It’s more than a story. It’s a joyful first step toward building resilience.
