Peer Power
by Bryan Smith, Lisa M. Griffin
Illustrated by Lisa M. Griffin
Packed with relatable situations and meaningful lessons, this uplifting story shows children they don’t need to be grown-ups to make a difference. They have the power to influence others and, together, do courageous and big-hearted things!
Ezekiel – or EZ as his buddies like to say – is about to discover a superpower he and his friends never knew they had.
When the school counselor, Mrs. Bernet, teaches a lesson about positive peer pressure, EZ learns that kids can influence each other in some amazing and awesome ways. Whether it’s stopping a friend from taking candy that doesn’t belong to him, doing the right (and safe) thing during a sleepover, or standing up for a classmate who is being picked on, EZ finds out that using his Triple P Power (positive peer pressure) can make school – and the world – kinder, safer, and a place where everyone belongs!
But EZ isn’t the only one who has the power to be a positive influence. His friends, classmates, and even readers will see how simple actions, brave choices, and encouraging words can inspire and motivate others to do what’s right.
A special page for parents, caregivers, and educators offers additional insights for showing kids how to use peer pressure in kind, supportive, and healthy ways.
This is the second title in author Bryan Smith’s highly acclaimed Kids Can Do It Too! series, written for ages 5-11 and designed to inspire young readers to use peer-to-peer collaboration and develop independent problem-solving skills.

Review
“Peer Power is such a meaningful and engaging book that helps young people understand the true impact of positive peer pressure in real-life, daily experiences. Through EZ’s journey, students can see how everyday choices can shape not only their own actions but also those of their friends. This book is a wonderful reminder to choose kindness, respect, and empathy while encouraging others to do the same. What a beautiful book full of so many lessons!”
