Now out: It’s OK

I love the children’s books that are published by this press. They are always well done and gently inspiring. That is definitely the case here.

It’s OK is teaching children self-compassion and how to identify their feelings, all the while recognizing that others have felt this way too. Here are crucial aspects of social emotional learning.

The text is simple and the illustrations are appealing. The repeated mantra is there for children to use. In addition there is a section at the end of the book that offers additional practices for self-acceptance.

This book belongs in both preschool and home libraries. It would be excellent for an adult and child to talk about this title together. This book might even help adults to be kinder to themselves.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Shambhala Publications for this title. All opinions are my own.
