From award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with
illustrator Nikolai Renger, a brand-new series for elementary
school students about social-emotional learning and physical and
mental health. What is stress? I hear about it all the time, but
what is it? How do I know I'm stressed? Can stress ever be good?
And what can we do to prevent stress from harming us? Kalle, Hanna,
and Jo find answers to these questions and are hot on the heels of
the stress monster in Don't Stress About Stress. This book explains
how stress can express itself in different ways and includes simple
tricks for everyday life to prevent stress from causing damage.
Don't Stress About Stress is a strong conversation-starter for
adults and children and is also a practical guide.

limitations and respect limits set by others. Sometimes You Have to
Say No provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the
opportunity to speak with children about this important topic.
Sometimes you're not interested in performing a task, going
somewhere, or speaking to someone, so you say no. But whenever
Matilda, Emil, Lukas, and Taya refuse a piece of cake from their
neighbor Mrs. Rose, she is offended. Wouldn't it be better if
everyone always said yes to everything? This way, no one would ever
be sad or disappointed again! When a mysterious wish on a shooting
star magically makes the word no disappear, the children and their
neighbors realize that life without saying no just isn't as
enjoyable as they had envisioned. In Sometimes You Have to Say No,
award-winning author and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention
to what could be a sensitive subject to some and provides advice
for not only the children who are often feel pressured to say yes,
but also those who live and work with them daily, like parents,
grandparents, teachers, siblings, and caregivers.

and mental illnesses they may be experiencing firsthand. When I Get
Sick provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the
opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. Have
you ever been sick? Or do you know someone who has been sick for a
long time? How do you take care of yourself when you're feeling
ill? How can you get healthy again? How can you avoid getting sick
in the first place? When I Get Sick realistically addresses both
infectious and chronic diseases, from the common cold to cancer.
The children in this book discuss their different experiences with
being sick so that every reader can find themselves on these pages.
Children will learn about germs, viruses versus bacterial

issues. They'll see children attend doctor's appointments,
experience blood tests and imaging, and even spend time in the
hospital for surgeries. Preventative techniques such as
handwashing, a healthy diet and exercise, and vaccinations are also
discussed in detail. Everything from ear aches, coughs and colds,
tummy aches, chicken pox, the flu, diabetes, cancer,
neurodermatitis, heart defects and asthma, to allergies, broken
bones, and mental illness is discussed in this thoughtful and
sensitive book. In When I Get Sick, award-winning author and
illustrator Dagmar Geisler presents the perfect opportunity for
adults to talk to children about diseases, treatments, prevention,
and how important it is to take care of their mind and body.
There's room for everyone here! A picture book about tolerance and
sharing. The deer have discovered a secret place while on a road
trip in their chic convertible. And of course they want it all to
themselves! But soon, more and more animals gather at the lake.
They go swimming, sunbathe, play cards, take naps, and have
picnics. There's a lot going on! And the deer are not happy about
that--at all. When it suddenly starts to rain and the seats in the
great (topless--because deer have very tall antlers!) convertible
get wet, the other animals come to the rescue with the same
blankets, umbrellas, and towels that had previously irritated the
deer. The deer soon realize, with regret, that it's nicer when all
the animals are together and getting along.

The perfect tool to teach children how to respond to bullies. I Can
Stand Up to Bullies provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and
caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this
important topic. You can be angry for many different reasons-maybe
a friend canceled a playdate with you, maybe it's lightning when
you're supposed to be swimming, or maybe your dog destroyed your
favorite toy. Maybe you're upset that you've argued with a good
friend, or maybe you're troubled when other kids are teasing or
picking on you. In I Can Stand Up to Bullies, children discuss the
different things that make them upset and angry, specifically being
the target of bullying from their peers. They clear up the
confusion between arguing and bullying, determining that arguing
means fighting caused by misunderstandings or conflicting opinions,
while bullying is simply fighting to fight. A bully isn't looking
to solve a problem; they only wish to make others upset or
angry-perhaps as upset or angry as they are feeling in that moment.
The children in this book teach each other important lessons
they've learned through their own experiences with bullies, driving
home the fact that bullying is never okay-but that it is always
okay to find an adult if another child won't leave them alone and
is repetitively mean to them, no matter how embarrassed they may
feel doing so. In I Can Stand Up to Bullies, award-winning author
and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention to this sensitive
subject and provides advice for not only the children who are being
bullied, but also those who are witnessing their friends being
picked on and the bullies themselves.
