Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good id Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good idea to me! Which of these titles would you read first?
One thing we’re doing this summer is reading all One thing we’re doing this summer is reading alllll the books (big shocker, I know 😉). My kids love funny books, so I thought it was time to introduce them to Those Darn Squirrels!⁣
⁣
This book follows Old Man Fookwire, a grump who likes painting pictures of the birds near his home. As the weather starts to get colder, he is determined to keep the birds close by, so he fills his backyard with bird feeders.  Soon the birds flock to the feeders, but so do the squirrels. The story takes a humorous turn as the grumpy old man faces off against some clever, but mischievous squirrels. Can you guess who comes out on top?⁣

Our library’s summer reading challenge has offic Our library’s summer reading challenge has officially started, which means my kids are asking for more frequent trips to swap out their books. That means I get more time to browse the picture books. Here’s what I brought home on our latest trip. Do you spy a favorite book or a new title that catches your eye?
When you feel angry, you might notice your face ge When you feel angry, you might notice your face getting hot, your jaw clenching, your belly tightening, your fists balling, or your heart pounding. Recognizing anger is often easier than understanding the true cause behind it. And if you think it’s hard for adults, imagine how confusing it is for kids! I want to share a new SEL book for kids that focuses on identifying and managing anger.⁣
⁣
The students at Sunnyvale Elementary carry a lot in their backpacks - including some things you can’t see quite so well, like big feelings and confusing emotions. Today, one fiery red book keeps spilling out and exploding onto everyone: ANGER! It’s time for the kids to use their best detective skills to figure out what’s underneath those angry feelings.⁣
⁣
“Anger is tricky that way. It tries to protect us from uncomfortable feelings by making us feel strong and in control…”⁣
⁣
Hello, Anger will be released on Thursday 6/2. If you preorder the book through NCYI by June 1st, you can grab a FREE resource bundle to pair with it. Visit helloanger.com to learn more. Thank you to @nationalcenterforyouthissues and @jessicasinarski for sharing this book with my family!⁣

Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever - she gets to choose the new family pet! She selects an elephant! 🐘 Mabel is thrilled that her new pet gives big hugs, the best rides, and even has a built-in slide. But when the elephant tramples through the garden and sits on her mom, Mom says, “NOT THAT PET! Choose something SMALLER!” That’s when Mabel chooses ants. 🐜🐜🐜⁣
⁣
It isn’t long before the ants cause problems for another family member and Mabel is left to swap them out for something new. However, with each new pet comes new problems. The animals are too smelly🦨, too scary🕷, too wriggly🪱, and even too prickly🦔. That’s when Mabel comes up with an idea for the PERFECT pet. Will her family agree? The ending might just surprise you!⁣
⁣
What kind of animal would make you say, “NOT THAT PET!”?⁣

Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfuln Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfulness with your kids or looking to get started, I have a book I think you’re going to love! ⁣
⁣
Happy: A Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness gently encourages readers to slow down, explore their emotions, and take the time to notice the beautiful world that surrounds them. The illustrations complement the poetic text beautifully and I love that there are little reminders tucked in throughout the story for students to practice mindfulness. Swipe to take a peek inside.⁣

How do you help your kids practice mindfulness?⁣
