Childrens Books By Amanda Nelson and Kimberly Tipton
Our books were created with the intent to help teachers, therapists, and parents support the social and emotional development of young kids in their lives. Each book includes an activity sheet and tips for parents and others to help guide children through related coping skills and social lessons.
Topic: Anxiety
In a world where kids come from different backgrounds and planets, join Forest Fran, a young girl from Plant Planet, on her journey to school on City Planet. She navigates new situations and worries, but with help the idea of new people and a new environment becomes less scary. Fran experiences signs of anxiety and learns coping skills from those around her. Through these lessons the children learn to enjoy sharing their differences with each other.
Best suited for ages 6 -12 years old.
Topic: Safety, Rules, and Boundaries
