Buckle Up: A Children’s Imaginary Journey about Self-Control
Life can be challenging at times, and unpredictable, with ups and downs and all sorts of things we can't control. It's like driving a car on a bumpy road. We can't wish the bumps away. We can't control who travels those roads with us, or make the sun shine on our journey if it's a rainy day. But we can control how we feel about it. We can let it make us angry or sad or scared, or we can stay calm, accept the challenges, and make good decisions. That's what this story is all about. With Nini the bird as your special guide, you will take a driving journey in your imagination, a road trip in your mind, with you in the driver's seat. You'll learn how to face life's obstacles and disappointments with healthy, positive "green thoughts", and wait patiently for the rainbow that will surely follow the rain.

A Note From the Author:
Dear Rear, I would like to thank you for reading my diary about a trip of a lifetime. This trip was full of great wonders, and I am honored to share this experience with you. My name is Olivia Desire, and I was born in Murrieta, California, a small town located about 45 miles from San Diego. I am 13 years old and currently in 8th grade. My mother was born in Kenya, while my father was born in Haiti. They met in San Diego when they were in college, well, at least that is what they told me. They often talked about going to visit Kenya, so they can see the many sights of this country as well as a visit to where my mother grew up. However, I never wanted to go because I did not want to go to a strange place where people act differently than I am used to, P.S. Not to my surprise, there were many strange things there (you’ll see), but in the end, I enjoyed every moment of the journey. While I was there, I got to spend some quality time with my grandparents, go on a Safari, and even see the coast of Kenya. I also visited many historical places. I am sure that you are going to love reading this diary. Sincerely, Olivia A. Desire
Think Ahead Kids Book Review:

The Adventures of Squirrel and Mouse.
A Humorous story based on the Taoist Fable, The Farmer’s Son, teaching the importance of “keeping your cool!” Squirrel and Mouse are great friends. One day they set off on an adventure to find a wonderful orchard of delicious fruit they heard so much about. Like every great adventure, there are ups and downs along the way. Squirrel keeps his cool and Mouse reacts to everything. Based on the Ancient Taoist Fable of the Farmer’s Son, The Adventure of Squirrel and Mouse is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches how quickly our mind can jump to conclusions. No event can truly be judged on its own as good or bad. Only time can tell the whole story. So why not wait and see?! The truth is, we don’t know what’s going to happen; we just think we do. So often we make a big deal out of something. We blow up scenarios in our mind about the terrible things that are going to happen. Most of the time we are wrong. If we keep our cool and stay open to possibilities, we can be reasonably certain that, eventually, all will be well. Remember Maybe, Maybe not!

"Be Mindful of Monsters" Description: “Be Mindful of Monsters” is a storybook written to help children understand and cope with powerful feelings. Written by child therapist Lauren Stockly with illustrations by celebrated artist Ellen Surrey, the book follows a gender-neutral nine-year-old name Ezzy, whose feelings of anger, sadness and worry have grown into monsters. With a compelling story and diverse characters, the book explores the challenges and benefits of accepting uncomfortable emotions. In the story, Ezzy learns coping strategies based around Mindfulness metaphors rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Although Mindfulness is extremely beneficial for children’s emotional wellbeing, the idea of accepting uncomfortable emotions rather than pushing them away can feel very challenging. The goal of “Be Mindful of Monsters” is to demonstrate how mindfulness works and why emotional acceptance is necessary, even if it’s hard. Getting children to understand mindfulness requires helping them to change their entire relationship with their thoughts and feelings, from one of judgement and resistance, towards one of support and acceptance. “Be Mindful of Monsters” is perfect for reading at home, in a therapy setting or in school as part of Social Emotional Learning.
