Every year at this time, my year 6 girls have trouble navigating their ever changing friendships. I don't know if it's because they're heading off to different schools after the summer break, if it's hormones, growing up and noticing their own identities or whatever but they find their once secure friendships a little fractured and often challenging. This little gem of a duo by Jennifer Licate is sure to help them understand how they are feeling and work on their pro social development. The beautiful illustrations and thoughtfully written text is just perfect! I can't wait to use it in group sessions! Highly recommend. - Mrs N. I. Phillips, Amazon The activities that follow each chapter in the the Activity Guide help reinforce and individualize the concepts within. There is a nice mix of activities from role playing to writing prompts. This could be used for an individual student, group or even as a whole class. - Amy Musumeci, Amazon

Author Information

Jennifer is an award-winning children's book author who has worked as a school counselor for over a decade. She loves writing social and emotional books to help children and preteens through challenging times. Jennifer's books teach children strategies to work through their issue, and the stories give children the comfort of knowing they're not alone in their struggles. Her books focus on topics such as anxiety, depression, and friendship struggles. Jennifer's books use a quick-read chapter format and are geared toward children ages 9 to 13. Through working with children of all ages, Jennifer has seen the benefits of social-emotional learning books firsthand. Children lose themselves as they're immersed within the stories. They're able to understand complex issues from so many different perspectives by seeing the story through the eyes of the characters. Counseling children, as well as raising two children of her own, has taught her a universal truth: all children want to be loved, valued, and respected for the unique individuals they are. She channels this truth, the importance of providing support to children as they navigate social and emotional issues, and her love for creativity into all her children's books. Her goal is that all children who read one of her books will feel like the stories are speaking directly to them.
