When children are feeling unhappy, it's easy for them forget what makes them feel good. With a suggestion on each page, this book is full of wonderful reminders. These include telling yourself you're cool, thinking positive thoughts, speaking up for yourself, and asking for help; having fun by playing outside or having a party; and taking good physical care of yourself by getting good sleep and exercise. The author also encourages kids to have positive interactions with others, to soothe themselves, and to reassure themselves that they're loved. Many of these ideas may be helpful for kids who are feeling angry or worried, as well as those who are feeling sad. And it's hard to be unhappy when you look at the brightly-colored illustrations. Not all of the ideas will work for all children all the time, but this "coping tool kit," provides lots of constructive places to start.
