In The Little Boy Learns about Feelings, Inclusion & Coping, a little boy gets some help from a magical frog to face typical playground challenges such as using our words, identifying emotions, using empathy and coping skills, practicing inclusion, and celebrating diversity and authenticity. Co-written by a two-year old and his Aunt "Kiki," a licensed professional counselor, Everyone is Included at the Animal Party is a story created for little ones to learn socioemotional skills while expanding their big imaginations. While the young author provided the magic, character development, and scenes, his Aunt Kiki couldn't help but add a therapeutic twist to help little readers learn important socioemotional skills.

As is the signature of the Everyone's Included in the Animal Party series, each page has recommended reflective questions to engage young readers to connect with the character's emotions and challenges. The book is designed to encourage children to problem solve and elaborate on their feelings and coping skills with or without the guidance of a supportive adult.

    “I teach first grade. My class loved this story! I love to read it in September to set the tone for the year. It was very relatable for my kids and helped me to teach them about diversity and inclusion.”
    —Faith Callahan

    “My kids are 7, 5, and 4. My 7 year old especially struggles with making friends and joining in. This book was a great story with the most amazing talking points throughout. My kids could relate to what was going on in the story and we had really great conversations about times we have felt left out and how we handled it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has kids who are shy but also those with confident kids can learn how they can better include others! So glad I found a book like this, I have never found anything like it!”
    —Ashley

    “As a special education teacher for students with autism, I’m always looking for new resources that promote inclusivity as well as social emotional development. This book does a fantastic job of utilizing talking points to promote acceptance of all feelings and normalizing discussions surrounding them as well as opportunities for role playing. On a personal note, I’ve also read this to my own children and will continue to share with other professionals and parents as a resource.”
    —Kerianne

    “My kiddo has a better understanding of how to name feelings and associate people's body language with those feelings. Sometimes we only get through a few pages because the open-ended questions are filled with stories from my child's experiences and imagination! On occasion, she reminds me to name my own feelings, 'like we learned in the book!'”
