Keep Trying! Understanding Strengths
by Swanzey, Martin
We did not identify any significant themes in this book.
Synopsis
The Brave Shapes book series recognizes that we all come in different emotional “shapes.” Children and adults can enjoy and relate to these light-hearted characters who cope with difficult feelings.
Keep Trying! Understanding Strengths, the second book in the Brave Shapes series, seeks to teach children that everyone has his or her own strengths. It is important for children to find things they are good at and develop those strengths. Strengths are one of the many gifts that make each child a unique, brave shape! The book also teaches children that although it is important to make themselves understood, it is even more important for them to try to understand others.
In this story, a triangular block named Tri has a difficult first day of school. Every interaction with classmates ends in disappointment and misunderstanding. Tri's father helps him to remember all the amazing things he can do and the importance of understanding how others feel. See how Tri's second day of school goes as he gives it another try!
Parents, counselors, and educators can use this series as a resource to increase emotional intelligence. The Brave Shapes series is emotionally aligned with children ages 3-7.
