The Upside-Down Boys Lisa S French

Help your child: Understand that unresolved bad feelings can lead to bad behaviors, Recognize that kindness and understanding can be powerful in diffusing difficult situations, Find creative ways to form connections and positive relationships as a means to deal effectively with conflict.

Through engaging and relatable stories, the Tales of Total Kindness series was developed with social-emotional learning (SEL) in mind and to help children develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). Emotional intelligence is something that can be taught to young children and is a critical factor that can lead to better relationships, improved mental health, and greater success in adulthood.

The Upside-Down Boys: It's top-secret Tuesday in the town of Thanks-Welcome and someone is launching gummy-eggy blech blobs from the Truly Kind Treehouse! Could it be a mad chicken or a gang of gum-chewing squirrels? When Frankie finds out it's the matching twin brothers McBlue, she bounces her way into the hearts of the Upside-Down Boys, breaks the chain of bad feelings, and helps turn the two bullies into buddies.

Questions at the back of the book can be used as a guide by parents, educators, and counselors to initiate discussions.
