As a Mental Health Worker and a champion for a kinder, more compassionate, and more self-regulated world - I wholeheartedly believe that we need to begin with our youth. The problem, however, is that understanding and managing our emotions is hard. It's hard for most adults, and even harder for the children who are looking to those adults as their compass. Little Z and Firefly takes those tough concepts and harnesses them into a beautiful story about accepting our feelings and managing our reactions.It simultaneously appeals to our children while acting as a guide for the adults responsible for teaching them. Books are meant to go beyond the pages - to make us learn, feel, and grow; this book checks all the boxes and should have a place in every classroom, home, and library. -Kelly Andreas, Mental Health Worker, Allentown, PA I love this story! Easy to read and relatable. I think children struggling with sadness and depressive moods will understand the concept of the dark place and feeling lonely... The seven steps are great. Each task is easy to do but also aligns with some self care tips and therapeutic tips for depression... The illustrations are a big winner for me! Especially when Little Z tries to handle his dark place feelings on his own and at school! The imagery was great. Each picture tells a story. -Marquisha Dunston, Clinical Therapist, Philadelphia, PA
