As a perfect day in the park turns stormy, the child gets scared and needs to cope with the large emotional shift. The father responds deftly. Rather than snapping at his kid to suck it up and just not be scared, he demonstrates the key questions to ask kids when they're grappling with feelings. 'What is in your head?' 'Why does the storm scare you?' These are followed by grounding exercises to keep panic from overtaking the child completely. The calm delivery and love between the two characters shine. The use of light and dark in the illustrations is cozy, cocooning, and safe. As the child feels more secure, warmth fills the page. While the story itself offers amazing resources and strategies for handling big emotions, extended recommendations and sources from professionals at the end are also critical to the book's worth. VERDICT An absolutely essential text to support emotional health in parents and children alike.' - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e, starred review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'A heartfelt, useful text for socioemotional learning and self-knowledge that gently focuses on emotional discussion between a father and son.' \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Publishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eQueer Eye\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e star Karamo Brown and his son Jason 'Rachel' Brown affirm that all feelings—even negative ones—are OK...It's a good message, and readers will appreciate seeing a story that centres a Black father and son dispelling the stereotype that men and boys—especially those of colour—don't or shouldn't express emotions...A useful primer for socioemotional growth.' - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46995542966508,"sku":"9781638930105","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14376963482771.jpg?v=1763114983"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jason-rachel-brown.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
