Overview

Priscilla is a perfectionist. But when she doesn't achieve perfection - only earning 88 on a test or not scoring a goal in a football match - she gets angry. Very angry. Her emotions get the best of her and she unleashes a wave of anger and frustration. With guidance and instruction from her mum, however, Priscilla learns how to manage her emotions and expectations. In the process, she discovers that success doesn't always mean being the best. Written in a style young readers can easily understand and complemented by vivid illustrations, PRISCILLA & THE PERFECT STORM is an enlightening and empowering read.

Reviews

Children will definitely relate to this story - either as the perfectionist, or the one that is affected by one. The rhyming text is appealing, and this book will hold the reader's interest throughout! A great book for teachers to use in the classroom and would be good for families too! - Karen S. The Best Tool for my Tantrum-Prone Daughter that perfectly captured her tantrums. We have a hard time explaining how her tantrums affect others around her, in a way that will make sense to her. After reading this book with my daughter, she said I know it doesn't rain when I throw a fit, but I really do hurt those around me. Just like Priscilla., - Reviewer This delightful story encourages children to identify and reflect on their daily decisionmaking skills. Stephie McCumbee encourages children to assess how their choices and actions may affect themselves and others. Readers are provided with concrete reasons and solutions for empowering themselves as socially accountable citizens. This book is great for educators and parents of elementary students! - Emma Farrell, Teacher and Blogger (Clever Classroom)
