Reviews
“What a delightful book for children! Delight is what children will experience while enjoying Maribel’s Rainy Day. This is the chance for children to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. A valuable exercise, indeed. At the end of Maribel’s Rainy Day, the authors have included some wonderful little exercises to further cement the primary message of the story: to think positive.”
“Maribel's Rainy Day is an inspirational book that shows kids how to cope with fears and situations that seem overwhelming. I loved seeing how the authors use the metaphor of an umbrella on a rainy day to help kids learn to cope with the insecurities and fears everybody experiences at some point in their lives by giving them positive affirmations. Maribel's Rainy Day is most highly recommended.”
Authors Leanne Richter and Shauna Havlina are professional family therapists who counsel children and have put their experience into this wonderful book to help children deal with worries and negative thoughts. This is a potent and positive way to help any child cope with the stress of pressure and negativity. Great concept and well written/edited. This should be required reading for all schools!
