I appreciate the simplicity of this and can definitely see myself using it in my elementary counseling office.

Positive Ninja is the second of the ninja series we've read and I think it's my favourite so far. The story is about Positive Ninja, who shows us that once he wasn't so positive and how he changed everything with his friends advice.
The story is a very simple and effective way to encourage children to let go of negative thoughts and be more positive with the help of a simple balloon strategy. I like how this strategy is so simple and clever as it means even the youngest children can try just like Positive Ninja and it will change how they feel about things.
The children loved that the main character is a Ninja and seeing all of the brightly coloured illustrations showing how Positive Ninja changed himself to a more positive ninja. I like how there were illustrations of both negative thoughts and positive as it makes it easy for the children to see and understand how Ninja is feeling and the changes he's made.
This is a fantastic book that shows a simple strategy of mindfulness that will help children be aware of negative thoughts and encourage them to be positive, a fun book with a great strategy that could really help children!

Say goodbye to the Negatives!
Positive Ninja is encouraging & upbeat, but once upon a time it wasn’t always that way. With the help from her friend Kind Ninja, Positive Ninja finds a way to get rid of negative thoughts. A great read that shows kids how to channel out negativity. These books are beautifully illustrated & holds the attention of all my kids. Another fun book from the ninja series!

En meget farverig billedbog med en glad gul ninja i hovedrollen.
Posetive Ninja hylder et positivt mindset og evnen til at give slip på de negative følelser. Bogen er derfor et oplagt udgangspunkt for samtaler med barnet om disse emner.
Positive Ninja oplever verden ud fra en “glasset er halvt fuldt” filosofi, men sådan har det ikke altid været. Den lille ninja fortæller om hvordan dens ven Venlige Ninja engang havde lært den, at give slip på negative tanker ved at sende dem afsted i en imaginær tanke-ballon.
Bogen er læst højt for Elisa på knapt 3 år og er læst selv af Sarah på 9 år - begge børn har nydt bogen, selv om jeg dog måtte trække emnet lidt “ned på jorden” i min højtlæsning for Elisa, da hun trods alt ikke helt forstår alt det med imaginære-tankeballoner.

Rounded up because there was a time in my childhood that I really would have liked this. When fiction like Mr. Sherman's Cloud and Sunny wouldn't have been enough. Plus I appreciate that this is part of a series (I'll consider others).

Great story for kids!
I love the suggestion given to the main character! Positive Ninja wasn't always so positive, until another ninja helped change the way to handle situations. Super adorable characters and a perfect lesson for kids of all ages. My kids love the ninja characters!

Positive Ninja from the Ninja Life Hacks must be my favorite Ninja book so far. This book provides kids and adults with simple tools to stop the spiraling negative thoughts. I remind my mom on our morning commute to blow her negative thoughts into the imaginary balloon and let them go. It has been working so far.

Positive Ninja
Positive ninja wasn’t always so positive she used to think the class was half empty. Then she realized something great can happen when you change the way you think.

I am loving these Ninja books. I love finding books for my kids that helps them understand different emotions to help them put their feelings into words. The illustrations in this book are so bright and cheery. My kids had so much fun looking at the pictures through this book. I also really enjoy that this book had a different strategy to teach kids in how to help them with a feeling that is not positive. This book is amazing and I recommend most kids check it out.
