Penny's Path to Positivity: Learning Life Lessons with Jaya's Guiding Light
Meet Penny, a young girl who never feels like she's good enough.
But with the help of her faithful dog, Jaya, Penny learns to embrace her unique strengths and face life's hurdles with courage. Through their journey together, she discovers invaluable lessons about kindness, self-compassion, and the love and loss of a pet.
'Penny's Path to Positivity' is a beautifully illustrated book for readers aged 7-11, designed to help children develop self-worth, and navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. Drawing on evidence-based strategies, it provides a heartwarming and practical approach to emotional wellbeing.
Throughout the story, interactive 'Paws and Reflect' sections invite readers to connect with their own experiences. Through meaningful questions and key takeaway messages, children can explore strategies for managing challenges and strengthening their own mental resilience.
Inspired by the life lessons the author learned from losing her own beloved dog, along with the author's professional work as a mental health Occupational Therapist, this book equips young readers with lifelong tools to navigate life's ups and downs - one paw print at a time.
This engaging and meaningful story, packed with practical tools, serves as a resource to promote and nurture emotional and mental wellbeing - at a time when young people need it the most! It promises to be a cherished addition to any child, teacher, or healthcare worker's bookshelf!
