The Upside-Down Boys by Lisa S French

The Upside-Down Boys by 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 in mind 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.
