Practicing Patience: How to wait patiently when your body doesn't want to

>?This book is a wonderful addition to our self-esteem building sessions with after school children. Sometimes it is hard for them to be patient or for them to be energized to continue to do homework or enrichment; this book redirects their energy with concrete strategies and then reinforces them. We will also use this book and Pause Power by the same author and illustrator in our summer program with children. Meanwhile I will be looking forward to the next book about Gabe!? - Jean M., Purchaser

"This second book featuring Gabe and (this time) his talking shoes is another great one by this duo. 'Practicing Patience' gives simple coping strategies for facing the common challenge of W A I T I N G. It's a life-long issue, after all! The culturally-inclusive illustrations are fun and effectively emphasize the book's practical advice. I bought extra copies of this book for my grandkids' elementary & preschool programs." - Grandma Deb (and retired elem. educator!)
