In Clementine Gets UNSTUCK!, Clementine is a smart and sunny third grade student who always has so many exciting thoughts and ideas, which usually help her find answers to big questions. But sometimes, her brain gets really busy. Too many thoughts and ideas ZIP in all at once, ZING around and TANGLE UP, so Clementine can't think clearly and can't decide what to say or do. She is left feeling STUCK. This creates frustration and problems, but also makes Clementine more and more determined to find a solution.
Clementine explores some unique "fix-my-thinking" strategies, which are not successful. Finally, at school one day, she learns a simple wellness exercise from her school counselor. And it works! Her thoughts stop ZIPPING and ZINGING. They UNTANGLE. Clementine is now able to speak about and take action on her thoughts and ideas. She is UNSTUCK!
One of Clementine's now clear ideas is to start a club. She names it, "The Kids Can Club!" For now Clementine truly believes that kids CAN face challenges, find solutions, and share these solutions with others. The club will help kids, animals, the environment and even grown-ups!
Clementine Gets UNSTUCK! is the first publication in the Kids Can Club™ Collection, a children's book series written to engage and empower young readers through connection with the Kids Can Club kids' struggles and then their successes, achieved through the use of simple wellness tools. The Kids Can Club online program will expand the series' content with activities, games, additional exercises and interaction with the Kids Can Club characters. And it will also show kids (with participation of their trusted adults) how to start their own Kids Can Club!
