A gorgeous book." * Offaly Independent * "Cute. I liked the illustrations and they way that the book was organized. The mindsets provided were helpful and written at an appropriate level. Explained for children, but also entertaining enough for an adult to read. I liked the real life examples of optimism, perseverance, and resilience." * NetGalley Educator * "As a mom with a child who is on the Autism Spectrum I am always looking for books to help guide me in teaching and helping my little ones ... I really love this guide. Written in a way children will understand and follow easily ...
