Editorial Review

Familiar situations for children and families are centered in these titles on tough topics. While the page counts for these titles are limited, they are substantial enough to cover each issue in a way that allows children to explore the topics alone or with a caregiver. Real photographs of children with their families accompany the text as they work through issues from bullying and moving to divorce and illness. The pop-up notes allow readers to take a breath and digest what they are reading. VERDICT Families will find the straightforward explanations paired with coping mechanisms to be helpful for children going through complex emotions.
