“As an elementary educator for more than thirty years, I am saddened by the number of students who struggle with overwhelming feelings of sadness, frustration, and worry. These books are a must-read to teach children how to deal with the pressures of childhood while focusing on their positive experiences. You will fall in love with these furry little characters. Parents and teachers alike will find these books a very helpful teaching tool. The set provides a springboard for powerful discussions on positive mental health with elementary-aged children.”

“Cathy Studer’s heart warming children’s book series addresses the importance of open communication. It doubles as a read-a-loud for both SEL (social-emotional learning) goals and many of the reading standards for young learners. This is an excellent tool for teachers and parents to help children grow mentally and emotionally.”
