Review "A sweet tale that will equip youngsters with the tools they need to try new things." -- Kirkus Reviews * 5/1/24 *"A heartening picture book for "new kids" seeking friends at school." -- Booklist"Theres a slew of kids books out there helping youngsters deal with big feelings, but this one feels particularly fresh. This might make a more modern The Kissing Hand for kids nervous about their first day at school." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books"A wonderful lesson in adaptability, patience, and taking time to cultivate friendships. A great addition to picture book collections." -- School Library Journal"A trio of tools help a young fox handle social anxiety in this picture book focused on emotional regulation." -- Publishers WeeklyRuby the fox is nervous about her first day at a new school, but she knows she can rely on her handy tools to get through any rough spots: her tape measure helps her count her breaths, her pliers remind her to be flexible, and her safety glasses allow her to see situations in different ways. Her tools do indeed help her stay calm, but they dont do much in the way of making friends. So, when the teacher announces their first project will be an egg drop, Rubys certain if she can build the best egg holder, everyone will want to be her pal. Unfortunately, she finds it hard to tell her ideas to her peers, and her solo attempt is just a mess. Some advice from her mom gets Ruby thinking, and shes able to speak up the next day and work with her classmates to complete a shared project. Theres a slew of kids books out there helping youngsters deal with big feelings, but this one feels particularly fresh in that Ruby already knows calming techniques and uses them quite well, but sometimes things still feel bad—you cant always breathe your way into a better situation, and some coping skills have to be learned on the fly. Similarly, Ruby and her group work hard to build their egg holder, but it stills fails the drop, reminding readers that doing all the work well doesnt ensure success, but theres still something valuable in the building and competing. Both humans and a variety of animals populate Stotts Richard Scarry-like world, and full, expansive spreads bring readers right into Rubys busy classroom. The watercolor and ink illustrations are beautifully detailed, with visual easter eggs throughout giving insight to Rubys new experiences as well as developing a few side characters stories. This might make a more modern The Kissing Hand for kids nervous about their first day at school.
