Product Description
by Heather Mishel Williams (Author), Kaitlyn A. Taylor (Illustrator)
Let's face it. This pandemic has been challenging, despite the fact that life, in general, is already hard! With that being said, nothing has been more apparent in the last two years than the importance of mental health. While some people had the opportunity to adopt mental health strategies, working parents discovered their little ones needed tools too. Well, have no fear; Little Z and Firefly are here!
In these times, we can get so busy with "adulting" that we miss opportunities to address our little ones when they get stressed out or when they are feeling down. Throughout their journey to "Light and Love," both Little Z and Firefly learn valuable lessons about supporting someone in a "Dark Place." They explore various tools and strategies used to empower themselves and their mental health.
This book is perfect for parents, teachers, counselors, and anyone looking to find a tangible and interactive resource to help empower the young people in their lives. It is also a book for adults who may struggle with where to start in talking about mental health.
Be on the lookout for Little Z and Firefly, A Journey to Light and Love, The Workbook!

It's never too early to adopt mental health strategies. May this book be a start to a life filled with Light and Love for your child and your whole family!
