"Mimi Birnbaum has taken her love for children and a love for Occupational Therapy and turned it into a terrific book that parents can use and children can enjoy. With a colorful, hands-on approach, she encourages children to explore their feelings and develop useful strategies to regulate them. Parents and children of all ages will greatly benefit from this creative and well researched calming tool."
- Joel Petlin, Superintendent, Kiryas Joel School District, Monroe, NY

"Over her years of clinical experience, Mimi has realized a dearth of material which addresses ways in which parents can support children at home and carry over skills they learn in therapy. Recognizing that void, Mimi has created new material in an engaging format which targets life skills and creates the opportunity to strengthen the parent-child connection. Her book takes an area of struggle for a child and transforms it into an opportunity for growth. It promotes practical life skills in a child-friendly, appealing way and shows great promise of success."
- Rivky Reich, Ms Ed, SAS, BCBA, Program Director, HASC Rockland, Spring Valley, NY
