Building resilience is a key life skill. This series builds confidence, empathy, and self-respect, and helps children develop a flexible mindset to cope with our ever-changing world. Adorable photos of animals represent emotions and feelings to aid empathy around difficult experiences, such as changing schools, family breakdown, making new friends, or trying new things. Tips and exercises encourage readers to participate, ask for help, be brave, and to embrace feelings of nervousness, as well as enjoy feelings of pride and happiness. Notes for parents and teachers are also included.
