"After using the Dirt Girl resource, we couldn't wait to try another one of your activities. They really help us to explore the text in detail an appreciate the message which we wouldn't have achieved by reading the story alone. The activities that you create are easily implemented with your clear plans and the activity pages are so clear and inviting that we couldn't wait to get started! Including the answer key saves so much time too. We can't wait to see what else you have available! Thank you." - MathsByHeart, 3rd grade

"Wow, what a wonderful story to promote Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in the classroom or at home!!! Throughout the story and activities, your students can explore subject matters of self-awareness, diversity, and inclusion. This resource is important to teach students while they are very young so they can learn not to display the traits of bullying as they grow up. This resource is engaging in such a way that helps them to understand that being different is not "weird", but it is a unique trait that we call carry because we are all unique in a special way. I love how Zefara innocence allows her to rise above them by allowing her smile to shine through. This story is powerful in promoting self-awareness, self-image, and diversity. As a homeschool mom or just a mom in general, I am blown away by the power that this story promotes. Great job and congratulations in collaborating with Jodi Dee in creating this unique and powerful resource for the wonderful story she created!!!!" - Homeschool with Big Easy Homeschooling Mom, 1st Grade

"This is a fantastic resource for promoting social-emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom or at home. All the activities in this resource are amazing. You can explore the themes of diversity, inclusion, and self-acceptance in this book. The variety of exercises, including reflection questions and writing prompts, makes it easy to engage students of all ages. As an educator, I appreciate the emphasis on fostering empathy, respect, and understanding among students, while also promoting a positive self-image and acceptance of differences. This resource is a valuable addition to any SEL curriculum." - FlashKart, 4th Grade

"I love Jodi Dee's concept behind her books and I love that you are digging into the SEL world bringing awareness to the younger children in hopes that they will grow up to show kindness to others. I love how the activities in this resource allow the children to critical thinking and go beyond the story. The activities in this resource are engaging, colorful, and easy to print. Kudos on a job well done! - Ms. T's Class, 3rd Grade
