Join Hapi as he learns to make good choices while he roams the world. Many friends are part of his adventures and there is always an encouraging phrase to reinforce his choice.

Beautiful illustrations bring Hapi’s world to life and offer many side discussion opportunities. While intended for early readers, this book also offers reminders for people at any stage of life.

Very cute picture book! The illustrations are absolutely adorable. The storyline is well-suited for children ages 4–5 and up, as some of the words and concepts may be a bit advanced for toddlers. That said, it’s a wonderful story for readers of any age, offering great opportunities for meaningful conversations and discussions between the reader and listener(s). The book also introduces many important life skills, making it a valuable learning experience—especially when paired with additional dialogue.

As a former elementary counselor and kindergarten teacher, I know this book would have been extremely useful while teaching. “When in Roam…I Choose to Be” is beautifully written, and the illustrations are charming. I absolutely love it in every way possible. The message is extremely important for our young children to hear and comprehend. I look forward to sharing this heart-warming book with my friends who have grandchildren, as well as several nieces and my sister who are educators.

A must-read for growing hearts and minds! This book is a brilliant approach to teaching a very abstract concept of personal responsibility in an engaging empowering adventure, taking Hapi from A-Z while Mima offers encouraging words and reinforces Hapi’s good decisions. It is an incredible way to connect actions to outcomes, demonstrating how small daily choices build a person’s core character. For parents, grandparents, and educators, this book is a gift to each of us!
