The message behind Four Became Five:
This book is set to enable children in naming, identifying, and comprehension of feelings. There are many experiences kids may be struggling with, and I personally believe this book will teach kids how they can work through them.
Why Are Coping Skills Needed?
Kids need to learn coping skills/tools to manage their emotions in a healthy way. It’s important to teach them coping skills that can help them face their fears, calm themselves down, and cheer themselves up. In the book, Gulsoom is taught how to use positive thinking to help her deal with her emotion (fear).
Why is positive thinking important?
Positive thinking is a powerful coping tool and helps build strength and confidence in a child. Stephanie encourages Gulsoom with positive thinking so she can try to get over the negative experience she had when she was once bullied.
What inspired me to write this book?
I remember when I was in elementary school, how I would struggle to deal with uncomfortable emotions. It was very difficult for me until I decided to tell my parents. So I thought this would be a great book to teach kids how they can also take a sting out of uncomfortable emotions.
It is my desire to use the tools God has blessed me in the most beautiful way possible; which is helping kids in a meaningful way. I believe children are the future and education and literature are some of their greatest tools for success. I hope you enjoy “Four Became Five”, and I can't wait to see your feedback.
