"A sweet tale that will equip youngsters with the tools they need to try new things."
Description
A little fox uses tools to overcome anxiety and make friends at her new school in this heartfelt picture book from the creator of the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light!
It’s Ruby the fox’s first day at a new school. She’s a little nervous, but luckily, she has her tools to help: a tape measure to count her breaths if she feels overwhelmed, pliers to remind her to be flexible, and safety goggles to see things in a new way.
When Ruby finds out her class is having an egg drop competition, she wants to share her ideas, but she feels shy surrounded by all her talkative classmates. Can she use her tools to find the confidence to speak up, and maybe even make some new friends?
Reviews
"There’s a slew of kids’ books out there helping youngsters deal with big feelings, but this one feels particularly fresh. This might make a more modern The Kissing Hand for kids nervous about their first day at school."
"A heartening picture book for "new kids" seeking friends at school."
"A trio of tools help a young fox handle social anxiety in this picture book focused on emotional regulation."
