    I loved that it can be used on a device or as a hard copy. I like that it covers all areas of social skills that can be hard for young kids. I can see this book being particularly useful in a small group of 3 or 4 kids over several weeks to talk together and try the exercises. I plan on doing some with my grandkids. I feel it could also be useful for adults I especially as an adult liked the chapters on being a listener and how to keep friends.

    I have been using this in my classroom as social and emotional learning mini lessons. It helps start conversations and offers talking points for group discussions but also can be used as quiet reflections and as writing prompts. A great little book to reinforce skills that many children are lacking or do not feel confident in!

    This book is fantastic. For some kids, social skills come easy. For others, like my kid, this book is crucial. After each lesson, we practice the skill, and she's like, oh, that's what I should do? Okay! It is taught in a simple way that works. It was exactly what I was looking for. We read it together and talk through the questions since she is only 6.
