My Awareness Book: A Children's Book about Developing Mental Resilience and a Growth Mindset (Feel Good Series for Kids)

Review\n★★★★★ Review by Literary Titan\n"My Awareness Book is a practical guide for children that teaches them how to manage the big emotions in their life. This educational picture book starts out with the lines "We all make our own choices in life, / Sometimes big, sometimes small. / Think positive and smile, / It's your life and your call." This sets the tone for this book and lets readers know life is about making choices and it is up to you to decide what the correct choice for you is. There are several examples such as making mistakes and owning up to them, learning to speak in a positive manner, and not being afraid to show emotions. These topics are hard to conceptualize for children and this thought-provoking book will help introduce them and provides an opportunity for further discussion.\n"Author Diana Smith uses simple but effective prose to share her meaningful message. The struggle to grow emotionally and learn to regulate one's emotions is challenging, especially for young children. This book takes the lessons parents try to instill in their children and presents it in a way that is engaging and relatable. The extraordinary illustrations by Sarah Jane Marchant will fascinate young children with their cute characters and vibrant colors.

The combination of engaging prose and captivating illustrations make for an illuminating picture book to be read again and again.\n"My Awareness Book is a terrific read for children, parents and teachers.
