What Can I Say?: A Kid's Guide to Super-Useful Social Skills to Help You Get Along and Express Yourself: A Kid's Guide to Super-Useful Social Skills ... Talk about Hard Things, and Be a Good Friend

Great book

Good book

I was expecting a book that would help teach kids to build their social confidence but it is very politically charged and I won’t be giving it to kids to read.

Nice book

My daughter Cher really likes reading this booked and it helped her a lot

Overall okay advice, and fun art. Unfortunately the last quarter is politically charged. It seems aimed at kids in more priviliged parts of society and makes sweeping assumptions about the experiences and thoughts of various groups to whom the author doesn't belong. The book also struggles to stay age-appropriate. I think by the time my child is old enough to read this book, this finger-wagging, nuance-avoidant approach to "being an ally", and various other topics, will seem quite dated and make it harder rather than easier for them to get along with their peers.

I read it as a parent and loved that it helped to improve my communication and advice giving for my daughter, but its not as includive as I would have liked. She didn't want to read it, she thinks she knows everything, but would take my advice on topics that were covered in the book and it really helped, especially as I was able to adjust and accommodate the advice appropriately.

👌👌👌👌👌

Excellent resource for junior readers, teens and young adults.

My daughter 9 said this book was very informative and helpful. Language and style made it interesting and enjoyable to read. A lot of useful information provided covering a lot of topics and situations

An easy to read book purchased for middle-schooler. I feel that reading this book together (or even just perusing it), and providing adult conversational wisdom and guidance achieves the greatest effect. She told me they had a copy of this book at her school in the counselors office. When I asked why she would know that, she described a litany of irritating but benign behavior that can send a kid to the office. Weird times right now at the middle school. 🤪

Simple book with some important content inside. Good read for a child who lacks confidence or wants to be more empathetic. Great for middle school and beyond. Very light reading with tonnes of illustrations.
