This adorable children’s book teaching children about full acceptance. As Sue walks to school, she admires the blue sky. On the playground, she asks her friends one at a time, “Isn’t the blue sky beautiful today?” Much to her surprise, each friend sees the sky as a different color, depending on where they are from. But some other kids think this is weird. Will this change the way Sue sees her friends and the sky? Sue’s Sky uses the gentle metaphor of the sky to encourage young readers to accept others’ perspectives of the world around them. Sue’s Sky shows children how colorful their world becomes with accepting others.

Mightier
Mightier improves the emotional health of children (ages 6 – 12) who struggle with their emotions. The clinically validated program was developed by clinicians at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and helps children practice coping skills by playing biofeedback games and addresses feelings of anger/aggression, irritability, feelings of frustration, anxiety, or a diagnosis like ADHD, ODD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Over time and routine practice, these skills will become automatic when kids face real-world challenges.
How Mightier Works:
– Children wear a heart rate monitor while they play, which allows them to see their emotions and connect with them directly.
– As their heart rates go up, the difficulty level increases, allowing kids to practice how to bring their heart rate back down (practice cooling down/calming down or “taking a pause”) in order to earn rewards in the games.
– Over time, children who play Mightier build their emotional regulation through coping skills to address real-world challenges.
– The Mightier App creates a world of fun games where your child can learn and practice visualizing and managing their emotions.

Kindness is my Superpower: A children’s Book About Empathy, Kindness and Compassion
Written by Alicia Ortego
One of the most important skills a child can learn is kindness. Little Lucas will learn what kindness means. Lucas will teach your child good manners and positive behavior at home, at school, in the store, and on the playground.
Your children will learn what it is like to be kind, sensitive, caring, and generous. This charming story with gentle rhymes and colorful illustrations will explain to your child that it is okay to make a mistake and say I’m sorry.
“If you are kind, kindness will come back to you.”
Lucas will realize that, with his kind behavior, he will get the same kind of reaction from other people. He will teach your children to respect the older, the younger, as well as their peers. With the perfect examples, this book offers, your child will have more understanding for others, accept differences, and show more empathy.
“Kindness is my Superpower” is intended for children of all ages. We warmly recommend it to parents, teachers, and anyone who works with children.

Black Belt Bruce
The Little Leaders program through Black Belt Bruce is designed to bring Leadership training and Character Development into every home through videos and activities that support and strengthen your role as a parent.
The Little Leaders program has been engineered with 2 very important successful teaching methods that have been proven to develop leaders in history. They are “PIES” and “Blooms Taxonomy”. The PIES program focuses on Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social areas in a Childs development. The activities at home are created to include these four critical development areas over a 12 month period. Along with the PIES, we have distilled the Leadership Model into 3 levels according to Booms Taxonomy. The Blooms Taxonomy identifies 6 stages of learning (Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and finally Creating) and our Little Leaders Program incorporates all 6 levels through fun and engaging daily activities.
