From award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger, a brand-new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning and physical and mental health. What is stress? I hear about it all the time, but what is it? How do I know I'm stressed? Can stress ever be good? And what can we do to prevent stress from harming us? Kalle, Hanna, and Jo find answers to these questions and are hot on the heels of the stress monster in Don't Stress About Stress. This book explains how stress can express itself in different ways and includes simple tricks for everyday life to prevent stress from causing damage. Don't Stress About Stress is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.

The perfect tool to teach children how to respond to set their own limitations and respect limits set by others. Sometimes You Have to Say No provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. Sometimes you're not interested in performing a task, going somewhere, or speaking to someone, so you say no. But whenever Matilda, Emil, Lukas, and Taya refuse a piece of cake from their neighbor Mrs. Rose, she is offended. Wouldn't it be better if everyone always said yes to everything? This way, no one would ever be sad or disappointed again! When a mysterious wish on a shooting star magically makes the word no disappear, the children and their neighbors realize that life without saying no just isn't as enjoyable as they had envisioned. In Sometimes You Have to Say No, award-winning author and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention to what could be a sensitive subject to some and provides advice for not only the children who are often feel pressured to say yes, but also those who live and work with them daily, like parents, grandparents, teachers, siblings, and caregivers.
