Smile Sandwich is a charming tale about a group of friends who learn productive ways to support one another. This book tackles some of the most common social-emotional issues young children face through the characters of Rebecca, Bobby, and Lucky the Snail, including alienation, bullying, self-confidence, and anxiety. Through their time at the beach, playing soccer and camp days, Rebecca shares the knowledge that she has gained about social skills, positive choices and gratitude from her first two journeys and presents her new-found skill set as one neat package throughout this third adventure to the friends, old and new, that can benefit from a little help. The concept of smile sandwich, which promotes thinking, speaking and acting kindly, is central to the story. Will Rebecca and her friends learn the true meaning of smile sandwich and how important it is to each of them as they learn from mistakes, identify feelings, and conquer their fears? The book ends with practical advice for parents, caregivers and educators, including assisting children with a model for journaling their way through challenges. Positive approaches to popular childhood issues are brought to life in order to guide children to think kind thoughts, use kind words and share kind actions to achieve overall emotional, social and mental wellness.
