I Am Resilient! Sid the Skunk's Superb Skills in Mental Toughness: A Kid's Guidebook is part story and part workbook based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children develop resiliency skills. Sid the Skunk learns how to manage his stinking thinking through mindfulness and coping strategies. This book was designed for use in classrooms to promote mental wellness, as an adjunct to therapy, and as an aide to parents to use with their children struggling with emotional control.
