"This text is coming at the appropriate time as an unrelenting global pandemic continues to plague our educational institutions and our students continually toggle between remote and in-class learning, which can cause frustration and instability. As appropriately titled, this book will elevate the mindsets of students to be resilient and to know that they can persist through circumstances while learning simultaneously. Dr. Perryman and Mrs. Perryman have seamlessly interwoven excitement, academic support, and child development activities into one book. Thus, the authors have created a curriculum that will inspire the next generations of leaders to continue to elevate, innovate, create, and make our world a better, safer place."
