The Secret to Clara's Calm

40 pp. | Wisdom | November, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61429-390-3 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeremy Bondy. Clara is mostly a happy and funny child, except for her "very BAD TEMPER." Her outbursts result in losing friends until a wise-cracking, sunglasses-wearing bird teaches her to meditate. Now, Clara can "decide how to respond" to problems. This picture book is full of useful tips on reactivity and mindfulness, but the cartoony art and belabored speech-bubble jokes do the worthwhile content no favors.
