Evaluation comments:
“This book is a terrific too to begin conversations on topics that are often times hard to talk about.”
“We variety of topics covered are diverse and great conversation starters.”
“The quotes from real kids adds a wonderful sense of connection and community. Here’s one example from Zyaireah, age 11: “When I’m angry or sad, I listen to music, like rap or sad songs. Or I journal. I don’t always like sharing my feelings with people, but writing about how I feel helps.”
“The ‘stronger together’ section offers great suggestions on how to connect with your family, community, school.”
