Book 1 of the YAHOO (You Always Have Other Options),Feel Good Series.The information in this child-friendly book is based on the latest developments in neuro-science. It is designed to give children the knowledge and tools they need to help them to become their own best friend.

The children become the illustrator of this book by drawing in the picture frames provided.

To my knowledge nothing exists that presents the comprehensive coverage of research knowledge in a form so accessible to children and parents.....Certainly, they meet a great need in the promotion of wellbeing area for children and adolescents....Well done on such a great idea and on the good and useful books you have produced.Eleonora Gullone, PhD, FAPSAssociate ProfessorSchool of Psychology and PsychiatryFaculty of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Sciences,Monash University
