I can’t wait to introduce my students to Kela, a dynamic character who reminds us all that it’s okay to make mistakes—and we can learn so much from them! This delightful and relatable story explores big feelings and teaches effective, simple techniques to handle them, all in kid-friendly language. My students love the other books in this series and can see facets of themselves in each of the characters. They are constantly asking me to read and re-read them, and I am certain this will be no exception!” — Katie Plunkett, founder of The Calm Classroom, @thecalmclassroom, www.thecalmclassroom.org “ Some Days I Make Mistakes is a fantastic addition to the classroom collection! What I love about it is that it not only normalizes mistakes but also zooms in on concrete examples that many students can relate to. Additionally, it connects the mistakes to the sensations we feel in our bodies (e.g., tricky to speak, tears swelling), which is something kids need to be able to identify and notice.” — Jake Daggett, elementary teacher, @jake_daggett “This amazing mother-daughter creative team has developed another impactful SEL book that every educator can use to help students learn how to be ‘calm, cool kids!’ This book is a perfect way to show students how they can use mindful strategies when they make a mistake and experience big emotions, so that they can be ready to take on the rest of their day. Thank you, Kellie and Hannah!” — Anne Marie Savello, MEd, second-grade teacher, @teaching.tiny_humans Kellie Doyle Bailey , MA, CCC-
