K-3Zach Rules series.
Illustrated by
Darren McKee.
Zach can't figure out how to traverse the playground trapeze rings, resulting in frustration and disappointment. His best friend Sonya suggests formulating a plan and reflecting on previous successes to boost his confidence. This is a cheery and realistic, if transparently message-driven, bibliotherapy story illustrated with cartoony digital pictures. Back matter includes tips and detailed strategies for "helping children persevere."
