"I Have Choices was a fun and easy read. My son was intrigued instantly by the bright colours and the creative characters. He was even excited to practice the skills outlined in the book. As a parent, I am relieved that this kind of book is finally available to help teach kids fun ways to handle their emotions, it's long overdue!" Gabrielle Schiller Parent, EA, AT

"The first installment, 'I Have Choices', in the Power of Thought book series for children approaches the topic of feelings in such a gentle, normalizing, validating and informative way! I believe this book series will be highly effective in teaching little ones vital emotional regulation skills and will help guide and encourage readers to explore and express their emotions, while doing a wonderful job of educating on the choices we all have when it comes to how we process feelings of all types. Further, it provides practical coping strategies and techniques that can be utilized on a daily basis! I Have Choices is beautifully written and as a social worker and mental health professional, I would strongly recommend for children) and adults) of all ages." Jade Piper MSW, RSW

"The Power of Thought Series uses relatable and engaging stories to bring to life important and impactful coping skills. These books have the potential to be a powerful tool in supporting children with the development of emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. They are a unique and child-friendly way of demonstrating and teaching evidence-based strategies.

A quick and attention-grabbing read, the first book in the series: The Power of Thought, illustrates the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. The book guides the reader in challenging unhelpful thoughts that feed feelings like worry and demonstrates how to transform these into helpful, confident thoughts and actions. Building on cognitive-behavioural principles, the book introduces age-appropriate vocabulary and thought challenging techniques. These books will be a helpful resource for anyone who works with children- parents, teachers, and clinicians." Dr. Jasmine Dean, PhD, C. Psych.

"We didn't talk about our feelings when I was growing up. Not many people of my generation or even the next generation did. This book series now helps me as a grandparent. I love the way the authors teach emotional vocabulary, but in a way that lets children use their imagination. The strategies they include in these books are so easy to use. My grandson is already practicing them and I am learning to express myself at the same time. He loves Zirco and Carnuli and can't wait for the next books to come out." Sarah Addeman Grandparent
