How can the hard things in life make us stronger?

Life can be hard sometimes and hurt. That can make us want to hide from the world. Yet, when we go through the hard times, we can become stronger and build resilience.

Join Gus the gorilla and Pasha the panda on another adventure in the forest. This time they show their friend, Jada the jaguar how to find good things in her life even during difficult times: how we respond when life is hard matters.

Everyone will learn:

The value of not running away and hiding from what is hard..

The value of not getting stuck in the hurt of painful circumstances.

The value of leaning into what is hard in life, finding the good, and laughing more.

The value of "feeling the good," which leads to more positive thoughts and words.

Resilience helps us build stronger mental and emotional health which guides all of us to develop our best and true potentials. Each book has a resource guide in the back with a QR code for an extra FREE guide with activities for parents and teachers.
