What Educators and Parents Are Saying:
- This is an absolutely beautiful little comic book to support young people to understand their feelings. It’s well thought out and beautifully diverse. I love the layout of reading followed by activities.
- As a school counselor, I found this resource invaluable for the start of the school year. I highly recommend Wholehearted School Counseling resources. She is one of my “go to” when I need something.
- My son is pretty bright and witty going into second grade. He will turn his nose down at anything he doesn’t think looks ‘cool ‘ or looks like it’s made for little kids. This was really effective and fun And empowering for us both.
