Tommie is a good kid. He should be able to do the things he loves and live freely. But everywhere he goes, trouble somehow finds him. Whether he is taking a stroll in the park, studying at school, or relaxing at home, trouble just won't leave him alone. What should Tommie do? He can't get frustrated or let trouble get the better of him. Tommie realizes that he should not fight but keep calm and be kind and helpful to others. It is the only way he can keep trouble out of his life. Using his problem-solving skills and empathy toward others, Tommie prevents his inner feelings from overwhelming him. Will he be finally free of his troubles? Find out in Trouble Is Not Cool! by Tricia Khan, with colorful illustrations by Natalia Tymoshenko.
This is a lovely book that teaches the value of self-empowerment and shows the ways kids can avoid feeling overwhelmed by the voices of self-doubt and overcome their challenges. Children will be drawn to author Tricia Khan's catchy rhyming verses that tell a story they can all relate to. As adults, we often forget that being a kid is never easy and comes with its own set of challenges. Trouble Is Not Cool! is a gentle reminder of how people can prepare themselves for the inevitable hurdles everyone faces in their lives once in a while. Illustrator Natalia Tymoshenko's fascinating drawings bring a lot of added depth to the tale by further increasing the engagement factor of the narrative. Highly recommended.
