Co-written by a two-year old and his Aunt "Kiki," a licensed professional counselor, Everyone is Included at the Animal Party is a story created for little ones to learn socioemotional skills while expanding their big imaginations.
In The Little Boy Learns about Feelings, Coping, and Inclusion, a little boy gets some help from a magical frog to face typical playground challenges such as using our words, identifying emotions, using empathy and coping skills, practicing inclusion, and celebrating diversity and authenticity. While the two-year old provided the magic, character development, and scenes, his Aunt Kiki couldn't help but add a therapeutic twist to help little readers learn important socioemotional skills.
Each page has recommended reflective questions to engage young readers to connect with the character's emotions and challenges. The book is designed to encourage children to problem solve and elaborate on their feelings and coping skills with or without the guidance of a supportive adult.
