Reviews"These books are simply written and will empower students to turn around bad days. Affirming statements . . . are accompanied by large, cheerful, illustrations that are perfect for prompting discussion about how the scene reflects the writing and whether similar examples can be found in students' lives. The books conclude with numerous questions parents and teachers can ask to encourage additional reflection as well as worthwhile hands-on activities to further emphasize positive thinking and foster self-confidence."-- School Library Journal, One of the first volumes in the Being the Best Me series, this picture book features an upbeat, constructive boy as he goes through his day and explains his view of the world. As he says, "I can choose to be positive." He is also grateful and thanks those, like the school bus driver, who care about him or help him. He enjoys doing new things, being active outdoors, and helping others. Even in the dentist's chair, he chooses to be patient and to look for some good even when things seem bad. While all this virtue may sound a bit off-putting, the large-scale line-and-wash illustrations help the boy come across as a relatively normal kid. In four appended pages, Meiners offers adults tips to using the book and related activities for children. Another volume in the series, Feel Confident , will be published simultaneously. As Meiners' previous series, Learning to Get Along, has shown, there's a ready audience for simple picture books that communicate values to young children. -- Booklist, Praise for the series: "More than ever before, children today need a foundation of strong emotional skills to guide their choices in life. These books focus on positive thinking and assertive, kind behavior that can bolster children's mental health, their relationships, and their performance in school. An exciting tool for empowering children to live their best lives." --Sean Covey, best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, "One of the first volumes in the Being the Best Me! series, this picture book features an upbeat, constructive boy as he goes through his day and explains his view of the world . . .
