The folks over at Free Spirit Publishing sent the kids and me some books to look over for them. When I say “some”, I do not just mean 1 or 2 or even 3 books…they sent me SIX!
- The Way I Feel
- Good-Bye Bully Machine
- Just Because I Am: Child’s Affirmation Book
- Speak Up and Get Along!: Learn the Mighty Might, Thought Chop, and More Tools To Make Friends, Stop Teasing, and Feel Good About Yourself
- Stick Up For Yourself!: Every Kids Guide to Personal Power and Positive Self-Esteem
- The Power of Positive Talk: Words to Help Every Child Succeed
The books were geared perfectly for them, eye appealing in every sense, and entertaining while still relaying an informative good message. I HIGHLY recommend these books and others at Free Spirit to parents, teachers, and child care givers. As I read these books to and with my children we were able to speak about the topics just read and apply them in real life. As you can see above, the younger 2 had a blast sharing with me various expressions after we read The Way I Feel and Just Because I Am. While the youngest may not yet have understood applying the reading to life, she had a good time showing me her faces and looking at the colorful artwork. My son was able to express his feelings to me and understand that it was ok to have the feelings that he may experience. And My oldest daughter was able to openly talk about bullying in and out of school after understanding what it meant to bully or be bullied.
Thanks Free Spirit for sharing these great books with me!
