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.
The perfect tool to teach children how to respond to set their own
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.
The perfect tool to teach children about both infectious, chronic,
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
infections, and contagious versus noncontagious illnesses and
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.
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.
Now every parent, grandparent, or teacher can explain to a child
the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching in a
way that young boys and girls can understand. As a child, there are
constantly people trying to pick you up, hug you, or tickle you.
Sometimes, though, children fall victims to people who try to touch
them inappropriately. But how do you tell someone, most likely an
adult, that you don't want to be touched? Or, if it has already
happened, how do you tell an adult you trust about what happened?
You're only a child, and they're the adults. Why would they believe
you? My Body Belongs to Me from My Head to My Toes is an
educational tool to help instill confidence in children when it
comes to their bodies. The narrative of the story is led by a girl
named Clara, who encourages kids to say "no" if they are
uncomfortable with physical contact. The narrator gives readers
tips about what they can say or do to avoid unwanted physical
contact, or how to tell the right people in the event it has
already occurred. My Body Belongs to Me from My Head to My Toes is
an invaluable resource that gives children a voice in uncomfortable
situations.
Over 75,000 sold, this thoughtful, helpful book was written to help
parents explain children the dangers posed by strangers. Lu won't
go with just anyone! She is waiting to be picked up after school.
She stands on the sidewalk, all alone, and it starts to rain. Ms.
Smith walks by, and offers to take her home. Ms. Smith lives in
Lu's neighborhood-but does Lu really know her? Lu asks herself,
what's her first name? Does she dye her hair red? What's her dog's
name? And she says, "I don't know you, so I won't go with you! And
besides, Mama said I should wait." As other adults-all of whom Lu
has met in some capacity before-offer to take her home, Lu
continues to consider if she really knows them. One by one, she
refuses to go with them. Until, finally, the person Mama said she
should go home with shows up-though his appearance is a surprise to
the reader! This sensitively narrated story illustrates how clear
rules and arrangements can help protect and empower children during
an especially vulnerable time of day. The ending includes a prompt
for readers to create their own similar "safe" list, and a list of
resources for parents.
An important story for young readers about standing up to bullies
and developing courage and self-confidence. Kim is in kindergarten,
and she loves going to school! She has a new backpack she can't
wait to use and show to her friends. On the way to school, she
spots Grit and Fritz on the playground. They approach her, they
call her names, they threaten to hurt her if she doesn't give them
her new backpack. Scared, Kim can't find her voice to yell for help
and shrinks inside herself as the bigger kids taunt her. When they
are scared away by an older kid, Kim continues on to class but
doesn't want to tell Ms. Blume why she's upset. In class that day,
Ms. Blume sings a song about being strong and asks her students to
create treasure boxes that will hold their talents and strengths.
As Kim works, frequently bothered by Frtiz and Grit, she decides
that her treasure box should hold everything she needs to be big
and strong-confidence, courage, her voice. When Frtiz and Grit
return to stomp all over her box, Kim has a decision to make: she
can either run to the cozy corner and hide, or she can plant her
feet, take a deep breath, and tell her bullies to leave her alone.
Which will she choose?
