UBC Press Okay Kevin book Hardcover 36 pages

Through providing an insight into Kevin’s thoughts, feelings and coping strategies, this picture book for ages five to eight is a source of support for children who, like Kevin, find school difficult and feel that they are “behind” their peers. This book, which draws on the author’s experiences as the principal of an elementary school, is also the perfect springboard for discussion around difficulties at school, academic ability, self-esteem, confidence, and recognising strengths.
