With imagination and empowerment, any battle can be won, especially when you have a cheetah sidekick!
Families will delight in reading aloud the masterfully written positive message created by Krystal Wallick, a certified school social worker and children's mental health professional. The story was written from her perspective sitting at her son, Ari's bedside in the NICU while he was undergoing treatment for a double-collapsed lung. She imagined the adventures Ari may be going on as he drifted off with anesthesia and bravely facing the surgery ahead.
The tale focuses on social-emotional learning, providing children the tools to use their imagination to confront challenges and dilemmas, and the courage to persist.
While Ari's story begins in the hospital; challenge and bravery come in many forms, shapes, and sizes. Nightmares, monsters under the bed, bumps, and bruises. This book can benefit all kids no matter what their story. Children (and adults) can benefit from the messages of bravery, inner strength, and resilience portrayed in the Ari the Brave series.
