I received a free copy of this product as a member of Zondervan's Kidz Review Krew in exchange for writing a review. All opinions are my own.
I definitely tend to lean towards the anxious side of the scale in life, so I was happy to see this cute picture book arrive:
From the turn of the first page, I was identifying with Kit, who "wrote everything she needed to remember" in her special notebook and liked to be prepared:
When Kit’s family moves to Cozy Lane, she feels anxious. Exploring the neighborhood with her notebook where she writes everything down makes her feel a little better. But when her notebook goes missing, not even her new hamster friends can help her calm down.
These joyful little hamsters were my favorite part of the whole book!
Then Mrs. G., the guinea pig next door, has an idea. They all make soup together, and as Kit breathes in the smell and breathes out to cool it, she finds herself feeling calmer. She even realizes her notebook isn’t as lost as she thought!
Kit learns a lesson about how to identify and overcome anxiety, a lesson that is so important for our children to learn as well.
And in addition to adding a delicious soup recipe to your dinner rotation, your family can try out Kit's simple breathing exercise and use of the five senses to be more mindful in order to promote mental wellness and help when they're feeling overwhelmed.
Grab a copy of this adorable book and your favorite soup pot to help teach your children a few anxiety-busting strategies today!
