Candlewick Press,U.S. Who We Are All about Being the Same and Being
Book SynopsisNew York Times best-selling author Robie H. Harris helps preschoolers understand what makes us who we are — from our height to our hair, from the shade of our skin to our eyesight.Join Nellie, Gus, baby Jake, and their parents at Funland as they go on rides, watch performers, and play games along with many other children and grown-ups. As they enjoy their excursion, they — and young readers — notice that people are the same as one another in lots of ways, and different in lots of ways too. Accessible, humorous, family-filled illustrations; conversations between Gus and Nellie; and straightforward text come together to help children realize why it’s important to treat others the way they want to be treated and the way you want to be treated — whether a person is a lot like you or different from you, a good friend or someone you have just met or seen for the first time.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Emotional Explorers
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewInnovative, different, clever. These words describe the trio of books in this series - Relationship Navigators (9780764355554), Emotional Explorers (9780764355530), and Feelings Forecasters (9780764356247). The idea behind these "teaching guides" is to connect nature and its elements to the feelings and experiences children face in their everyday lives. More and more, the expectations and pressures on children, emotionally and academically, can feel stifling and confusing and these books can be a wonderful resource to healthily sift and push through conflicts, discomforts, and new experiences to become our best selves. (Ages 8-12) -- Midwest Book Review, Children's BookwatchEmotional Explorers is a how-to about taking care of your inner world. It talks about koi fish, dragons, finding treasure, “emotional landscapes,” unique species that are endangered, and more. It is written by Maria Mercè Conangla and Jaume Soler. It also talks about social skills and managing emotions—something I do with my therapist Mr. C. One thing I especially like about this book is that it helps you do activities to manage your feelings. I think I should try some of these activities with Mr. C! You can be declared a World Heritage Site, take care of your house, be shipwrecked on an island, and more. How about a tea party? I love to pretend, and this book gives opportunities to use your imagination. I think that is a strength of this book that makes it useful and fun. We are what we are, and that’s what this book is all about. We are Intrepid Treasure Hunters. We are EMOTIONAL EXPLORERS. Anybody can enjoy this book – I know I do! (Susan Faith - Age 11) -- Kids' BookBuzzEmotional Explorers is a much needed book that helps kids build deeper connections within themselves as well as the world around them. Following the activities in this book will help kids feel more anchored to their world and kids will walk away with a much fuller and richer understanding of themselves. I highly recommend it! -- iHeartLiteracy
