I Told You So!
A Journey from Pointing Out to Pitching In
by Azizi Tuere
A thoughtful tale about helpfulness, humility, and knowing when to speak up and when to simply show up.
Maxine the Megaphone is always the first to call it: “I told you so!” She sees trouble coming and makes sure everyone hears about it. But when her constant commentary starts making others feel small, Maxine realizes something important: being “right” doesn’t always make things better.
This clever, character-driven story helps kids explore what it means to be truly supportive, and how to trade criticism for care when it matters most.
Perfect for teaching social awareness, compassion, and how to lead with kindness instead of volume.
A must-have for classrooms, families, and any child learning how to balance confidence with care.
Available sometime late 2025 in paperback, hardcover, and e-book format.
