Resilience

A children's book to encourage resilience, persistence, and to help children bounce back from challenges and adversity.

Meet Emmi! She is resilient, independent and courageous. She always tries her best, and even when the going gets tough, Emmi never gives in. This charming story uses verse and beautiful illustrations to model resilience, persistence, and the ability to face challenges with tenacity.

Children who are resilient are brave, curious, confident and problem solvers. Nurturing these traits in our children will go a long way in helping them face the many challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.

Also included are Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators, and suggested activities to promote children's resilience.

Best suited for children aged 4 to 9 years.

"Resilience is a delightful rhyming story with lovely illustrations. Children can really connect with the text as they have all experienced and overcome some of life's challenges explored in the story – such as learning to walk, swim, ride a bike or start school! There are guiding discussion questions for each page of the book to help teachers and families explore the qualities of resilience and bravery. The guiding questions provide great ideas for conversations with children, with a focus on resilience and being brave when things feel hard. I highly recommend this story for all children, particularly those who tend to give up easily or are reluctant to try!"
