I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book gives loads of strategies for children who are coping with things that aren't going the way they expected. They are good strategies. However, if a child reading the book isn't Christian (another faith, atheist, etc.)the frequent bible verses might not uplift and comfort them in the same way they do the author.
Also I would not recommend a digital copy of this book, as the writing activities would not be feasible.

This book has some good advice, but I was surprised to learn that it is extremely Christian, often quoting the Bible, telling children to imagine telling things to Jesus, etc. For this reason, I don't think it belongs in a public library in the mental health section, nor do I think it would be well received in the religions section. It is further a confusing mishmash of text intended for children and text intended for adults. Are adults supposed to read the relevant bits to their children? are children supposed to read it and somehow skip the part for adults? Unclear.
