Roe loses his happy hop when he FEELS AFRAID, but he discovers his FEAR IS FAST, IT DOESN'T LAST!
HOW DO CHILDREN KNOW they are RESILIENT and can HANDLE THE TRIALS OF LIFE?..
KNOW HOW TO FEEL the many FEELINGS they experience in a day in a HEALTHY WAY?
Below are quotes from the SAGUARO SOUL CHILDREN'S BOOK SERIES: You Can't Steal My Smile!,
REPEATABLE PHRASES to instill their INNER RESILIENCE!
Feelings are fast, they don't last.
My heart beats love to every body part, even my brain can be trained.
I can give love and care, even when it's not fair.
Forgiveness is the best, for anyone who makes a mess.
Questions are like opening a door, into a place we've never been before...
We don't know what we will find, but it will be so fun to imagine with our minds.
You can't steal my smile, I keep my smile.
Each book ends with I Keep My Smile Reflections, providing an opportunity for parents and their children to connect with questions to ponder, supporting the resiliency message that kids can believe in themselves, no matter how they feel or what may be going on in the world around them.
