Product Description
by C. Laine Dos Santos (Author)
The world today is difficult to navigate, especially for kids. These twenty-seven little life lessons, designed specifically for children 5 to 9 will help cultivate self-acceptance, empowerment, inclusion and empathy. Because our children can be exemplary citizens of the world. And all children deserve to feel extraordinary.
This book is aligned with SEL Principles (Social-Emotional Learning), a method that helps kids understand and manage their feelings, build positive relationships and develop empathy for others. It's been established that SEL reduces bullying, promotes positive social behaviours, and allows children to feel empowered in day to day life. Using wildlife imagery, THE ORDINARY SEAHORSE fosters inclusivity and self-acceptance, advocating proactive conversations between parent and child, and healthy discussion amongst young friendships. It's a book for everyone who wants an open dialogue with kids about sensitive topics. The picture book format dedicates two pages to each topic, allowing children to read one story and then discuss, or jump around reading about what impacts them most. SEL books are wonderful tools for siblings, as the older child can read aloud and become early role models. The beautiful wild life illustrations in this book create engaged connections quickly, and with a little magic sprinkled in - encourages a reading experience of joy, curiosity and wonder.
