About the Book
Through simple rhyme and beautiful illustrations, this uplifting book encourages children to create their own happiness. (ages 0-11; preschool-grade 6) Many children experience big emotions and scary events they have no idea how to handle. Oh, the Things You Can Do explains negative feelings and coping skills in language a child can understand. Regardless of age, we are all human. We all experience different emotions. We all make mistakes and we all need help at times. Some experiences can cause uncomfortable emotions, but they also help us grow and learn to navigate the challenges we face in life. If we focus on the positive, surround ourselves with positive people, and do things that bring us joy, we can create our own happiness. Even in the most difficult times, it is important to remember who we are and what makes our hearts sing.
