Overview

"In Jorge Learns to Be Resilient, Jorge feels happy when he arrives at school and says ""buenos días"" to his teacher and gives her a special tamale from his neighborhood's tamale stand. But when his classmates make fun of him for using different words, Jorge is embarrassed and remains silent for the rest of the day. His feelings are hurt. When he talks about his sadness with his teacher, he decides to create drawings that show his feelings. He shares them with his classmates, telling them that he is smart because he knows two languages. When his friends want to learn, too, Jorge feels happy and proud. Facing his emotions helped Jorge's friends accept and appreciate his cultural heritage. Families, teachers, and librarians will enjoy reading additional stories of self-reliance, strength, and resilience in this timely series which provides an opportunity to open up a dialogue about this important life skill.

His experience has shown him that family members, teachers, and other educators should engage children in conversations that prepare them for potential negative situations. His new series of picture books provide a platform where children can learn techniques to help them flourish. Furthermore, his stories also show adults that children with less effective behaviors must be treated with equity and fairness. Jorge Learns to Be Resilient, Jamal Learns to Be Resilient, Alisha Learns to Be Resilient and Ian Learns to Be Resilient are available now and would make a great part of your early childhood library collection."
