“…their newest series of books, which highlight the Real MVP Kids as they are growing up and learning more about the world around them. They will be releasing two new books that are perfect for helping young children, especially between the ages of 5-8, as they learn a little more about how to get their feelings in check.

“The first book I read is Stomp Out Selfishness. My daughter makes the perfect audience for these books and enjoyed this one thoroughly. The book includes three short stories that help young children understand what selfishness is and how to handle it. The stories include real life problems that children can relate to.

“At the end of each short story, there are discussion questions about the story and how to apply what was learned. My daughter really enjoyed this part of the book.

“The second book, Lucas Tames the Anger Dragon, tells the story of Lucas who feels left out when no one in his family has time to play with him. He feels angry and acts just like many young children do. As his mom helps him understand how he can feel better, he realizes that joy will help him become less angry. He is able to use his parents’ advice to help him better understand how he is feeling.

“The end of the book includes a discussion guide to help you and your child work through the issue of anger. It is perfect for helping children understand this emotion and find ways to help them work through anger and the way they are feeling.”
