"A fun and positive read. Unreservedly recommended."

"Sonia and the Super-Duper Disaster taught me about coping skills to try whenever I might feel overwhelmed, or any big emotion. They worked for her, so I can try them and feel good about them working for me, too."

"This delightfully funny story is a perfect way to help children with ADHD or anxiety (or really any super-intense feelings) learn that there are simple yet powerful things they can do when their emotions overwhelm them. Wholeheartedly recommended!"
