    Story

    I am writing and illustrating a seven-book series to build the confidence and self-esteem of young children and I need your support to achieve this.

    Mental health problems affect 1 in 10 children and young people - Mental Health Foundation

    The need to address low self-esteem, anxiety, lack of confidence and mental health issues within our young has never been greater. Canterbury Christian Schools Work Trust has been working for many years in primary and secondary schools tackling this. They have highlighted the growing demand for supporting younger children before these issues take root. I am developing a book series to form the basis of a new seven-week Confidence For Life programme.

    70% of children and young people who experience a mental health problem have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age - Mental Health Foundation

    The production of this Confident Rhymers book series will take hundreds of hours of my time in brainstorming, researching, story-boarding, writing, editing, illustrating, road-testing and publishing. Further time will be required to develop a Confidence For Life course to be delivered in schools. Your generous support will enable me to devote the time needed to complete this invaluable project.

    This project is endorsed by the Diocese of Canterbury Board of Education.

    We are delighted to support the development of this Confident Rhymers book series and look forward to it being used in schools to improve the mental health and confidence of young children. - Niki Paterson, Diocese of Canterbury Board of Education

    The book series will positively impact the lives of hundreds of children in helping them know they are loved. Children will learn to celebrate the unique gifts and talents they have. They will be empowered to share their feelings and worries confidently. By the end of the book series and course the children will know how special and awesome they are.

    Thank you for being awesome too in your support for me!

    Bless you

    Andrew Buller

      After a Covid-enforced delay I am delighted that my Confident Rhymers book series and course can begin to be used in schools from tomorrow, delivered by the fantastic local CCSWT charity. From the responses in schools, it appears there is an even greater need for this confidence course among young children than there was two years ago when it was initially planned to roll-out. I hope and pray it will bless many and set them on their way in life with greater confidence.

      I am delighted to be now working on the first draft of my Confident Children course to accompany the seven book Confident Rhymers series that I hope will be able to be trialled in schools during the next academic year. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me with this project.
