awwwww!

I loved this so much I’m going to have to order a print copy. The e-book just doesn’t do it justice even though the illustrations are fantastic. But the characters!? They’re super powers are emotions!?

What a fantastic concept the teachers children important life skills. If ever there was a more important book for children to read at a young age… I would love to find it because this deserves way more than five stars.

Do yourself and all the children you read this book to a favor… And pick it up now. I wish I could share it with the whole world.

Big emotions, no problem! Team Supercrew to the rescue!

This collection of children’s books is amazing! Wow!🤩 Each page is so colorful and uniquely designed. The stories within tell about, “Four kids who are facing a difficult situation or choice, and that’s where Team Supercrew comes to rescue”. Leaping out of comics is, “Kindness, Bravery, Calmness and Grit”, and it’s their mission to turn the questions into, “What if”.
Whether it’s going to school for the first time, or dealing with a younger sibling, finding it frustrating at bedtime or facing their fears, your young child will love these books!

4 great stores to build positivity

TEAM SUPERCREW is beautifully illustrated with 4 great sties that show how, while normal, negative thoughts can be debilitating. In each story, one of the SUPERCREW materializes from their comic book to help a child take the same situation and think more positively about it. Each time the child takes action on this new, optimistic viewpoint.

The section at the end of each story to build your supper powers is also a nice exercise for parents or guardians to do with their children. This is a wonderfully collection of engaging and motivational stories children will love.

Great box set to help with emotions

This box set and stories inside are a perfect gift for today's parent. The stories help children to understand it is okay to have an emotion and a positive way to turn that emotion into something better. The illustrations are fully supported by each story. The stories words and sentences match the intended age group along with the illustrations meeting the same age range. There is enough content in the stories to help fill in frustrations that children may fill.

Great book set for kids

I love this book set. The messages in the stories are uplifting and helpful. Each book in this set teaches kids what can happen if they change their mindset. It's brilliant.

My favorite was "be calm". It helps kids be mindful of how to remain calm to manage feelings of anger.

At the end of each book there is a list of actionable things kids can do to manage feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, and low self confidence.

It's a great way to help young kids with emotional regulation.

Powerful tool to help kids express BIG emotions

Engaging, fun, and beautifully-illustrated stories that help give kids and their caregivers great examples and vocabulary for talking about emotions. The key take-aways aren't that big emotions (anger, sadness, frustration, fear), are bad -- everyone experiences them and they are normal. Acknowledging that, the books give excellent examples through age-appropriate storytelling about how kids can acknowledge and then challenge the thoughts behind the emotions, learn, and grow. Truly great!

Highly recommended

I highly recommend this super book for young children.
Meet Chloe the Calm, Gen the Grit, Keisha the kind, and Benny the Brave.
Using words such as afraid and frustrated, the authors cleverly introduce a series of 'what if' questions to introduce words such as brave and kind. This is a great book for encouraging children to ask 'what if' themselves and to see things with a positive mindset.
Very cute illustrations only add to the high quality of this great book of four stories.

Good illustrations, good concept, repetitive storyline

As an educator and parent of 4 kids, I love the concept of these books. It can be difficult for kids to open up about strong feelings and books like this can serve as powerful gateways to conversation. Unfortunately, the storyline is super basic (dialogue without any real action) and the exact same from one book to the next (just with a new emotion inserted). I think these books have a lot of potential, but the authors need to flex their creative writing muscles a little bit more.

Amazing

I loved the book for what it is, a simplistic way of empowering children that may have concerns in life due to their emotions. It is not deep with dealing with anger, fear, frustration and sadness, which is a bonus for teaching kids simple techniques for combating against these emotions. I hope in the series they focus on using these emotions as fuel to push forward. The illustrations were really good as well. Will be purchasing physical copies for my son.

rich with diversity

The first thing a reader would appreciate is the ethnic diversity in the book. However, the illustrations while are nicely done still are a bit dated in comparison nowadays books. The story on the other hand tends to be on the exaggerated side to fill a storyline...

My conclusion is, the book is interesting if you compare it to old stories, but doesn't standout next to new illustrated children's books.

Fascinating children's book

Educational Value:
One of the standout features of this series is its educational content. Each book not only tells a story but also serves as a guide for children to understand and manage their emotions. The characters use their 'superpowers' to overcome everyday issues, which can be a powerful metaphor for children learning to use their inner strengths.

Great Books For Kids

I found the books helpful. Especially it's the beginning of the school year. The kids are now nervous and with self-doubt. I like the "What if" that has a positive take on it. Usually, people say "what ifs" in a negative aspect. Never thought of what ifs being a positive way to see things. I read this series to my children. They like the stories, and you can see them thinking more deeply about how to handle things.

Great book!

Wish I had these books when my kids were small. Love the positive outlook that the Supercrew demonstrates for each kid’s concerns. It is well-written, and well-illustrated. Love the fact that the kids are all of different ethnicities. Inclusivity is crucial to everyone especially to our little ones. Love the whole set!

short sweet stories

Each story is very short and follows a simple formula. A child experiences a situation that brings a negative emotion. A team super crew member acknowledges the feeling and tells the child how to look at the situation differently. The child listens and changes their outlook.

Cute way to get through to your kids

Formatted as a comic book, the stories are just the right length for my 6 year old. Gen the Grit was our favorite superhero, and my kids loved how the heroes were kids just like them, while I loved they were actually learning lessons without a fuss!

Some parts of the books felt a little rushed, or disjointed, but very minor issues land and did not detract from the story.
