Right Now, I Am Brave ~ by Daniela Owen, illustrated by Gülce Baycik, 2020, children's picture book, 10/10

The second book of the Right Now series provides an excellent tool for parents to help their children learn what it means to be brave by explaining the choice we all have when we face situations that may make us anxious or fearful.  This book is perfect for the uncertain times we face today and can be very effective in teaching children how to deal with their fears.

Right Now, I Am Kind ~ by Daniela Owen, illustrated by Gülce Baycik, 2020, children's picture book, 10/10

Sometimes children just want to think about themselves, but we live in a world with lots of other people.  It's important to be aware of and kind to all of these other people.  This third book of the Right Now series is a guide for children to help them understand why being aware is important and what actions they can do to show kindness.  The book helps children learn what it means to be kind and aware of other people.
