Description
Book SynopsisBeautifully illustrated, this important storybook encourages young school children to understand and talk openly about their feelings.
Letâs join Jessie, Hanna, Akira, and Hassan for a day at school! They wriggle through show-and-tell. Cartwheel at break time. Draw in the classroom. But even a good day at school can have tricky moments, and sometimes the children get upset. Based on the Ready or Not research project, which collected different viewpoints on school readiness, this book helps children identify and reflect on their emotions and manage difficult feelings.
Representing neurodiversity in the classroom, this storybook is a creative tool to foster hope and resilience for children starting school and will be invaluable for parents, teachers and carers supporting this important transition, and those wanting to facilitate conversations about the emotional highs and lows of a day at school.
For effective use, this book should be purchased alongside the accompanying professional guide, The Psychology of Starting School: An Evidence-Based Guide for Parents and Teachers [9781032211497].
