Product Description
by Catie Aunt Kiki Greene (Author), K. K. P. Dananjali (Illustrator)
A little girl is so excited for a long awaited day at the beach with her parents that her body just can't wait! Her dads help to teach her skills to manage big feelings of excitement and impatience such as slowing down to create a schedule and working together to complete the family's tasks. However, when faced with unexpected changes to the schedule, innovative coping skills are needed. With the help of her family, the little girl is able to tap into her imagination to cope with feelings of impatience and frustration. Together they find an under the sea animal party!
As is the signature of the Everyone's Included in the Animal Party series, each page has recommended reflective questions to engage young readers to connect with the character's emotions and challenges. The book is designed to encourage children to problem solve and elaborate on their feelings and coping skills with or without the guidance of a supportive adult.
Grounded in relational cultural theory and inspired by conversations with the author "Aunt Kiki's" toddler nephew, Everyone is Included at the Animal Party is a series of stories created for little ones to learn socioemotional skills in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
