Sometimes children feel the weight of the expectation to be great or to want to be great at something.
The OK book reminds us all that maybe its OK to be OK at things.
In this clever and literal play on words, OK is turned on its side, upside down, and right side up to show that being OK can really be quite great. Whether OK personifies an OK skipper, an OK climber, an OK lightning bug catcher, or an OK whatever there is to experience, ok is an OK place to be. And being OK just may lead to the discovery of what makes one great.
With spare yet comforting illustrations and text, Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld celebrate the real skills and talents children possess, encouraging and empowering them to discover their own individual strengths and personalities.

The authors map out the theoretical foundations of this new approach to conflict resolution and show how to apply specific techniques for the practical application of... More info
