FEATURED IN BEST BOOKS FOR KIDS & TEENS BY THE CANADIAN CHILDREN'S BOOK CENTER, FALL 2024
Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG! He likes to climb trees, eat snacks, and sleep. Most of all, Reg loves to swim in the creek. One day as he heads out, he notices that a few obstacles stand in his way. How will Reg react to the challenges of the day ahead?
“What a priceless gem! This book, beautifully illustrated by Emma Martin, is a well-researched and resourced guide that provides children valuable tools in naming, understanding, and regulating their emotions.”
“Lori takes her readers on a journey of self-awareness and conscious self-regulation of feelings and thoughts through her simple and easy to understand children’s illustrated book.”
I have read this book to my students and they enjoyed the pictures and the story, while gaining valuable lessons about how to self-regulate. We used these self-regulation strategies every day in class... will continue to read this book to my future students and loved ones. I recommend this book to anyone!"
"Reg is a good model for how unpleasant, unhappy, anxious ideas can be assuaged, how children can find a way through those moments and come out better on the other side. It’s a book about maturing, and how children can be proud of themselves for taking the steps themselves."
