Reviews
"Beautifully written and illustrated, One Step at a Time is a must-read for families who want to teach their kids how to overcome obstacles and learn from mistakes. This is a special story book that invites children to learn about their internal strengths, like resilience, empathy, bravery, and perseverance."
―Marilyn Price-Mitchell, Ph.D., Developmental Psychologist and author of Tomorrow's Change-Makers (Eagle Harbor).
"Building good character is important and as a teacher I am always looking for good books to help me teach. One Step at a Time is a great book to read in any classroom; it gives students a strategy to help them overcome their fear and build courage."
―Laura DeLuca-Floersheim, kindergarten teacher, NYC Department of Education.
"This charming picture book illustrates how a young girl overcomes the challenge of owning up to a mistake at school... With appealing simplicity and colorful illustrations, this story illustrates the importance of “ordinary magic” for resilience, including support from family, teachers, and friends, as well as a child’s own courage, self-control, and persistence. Young children, along with their parents and teachers, will enjoy this relatable story of a young girl bravely overcoming her fears, step by step, with a little help from people who care about her."
―Ann Masten, Ph.D., Regents Professor of Child Development at the University of Minnesota and author of Ordinary Magic: Resilience in Development (Guilford).
"The character of Emma will be easy for young students to relate to! Feeling fear is a natural part of growing up but author Sara Aharon expertly shares with readers how to feel brave by just putting one foot in front of the other. I will definitely use this in my elementary library, and have plans to have my students act out each form of movement! (jump, stomp, twirl, etc)!"
―Morgan O'Reilly, Children's and Young Adult Librarian
"An imaginative approach about resilience, One Step at a Time! showcases the importance of facing your fears and having courage. This picture book has the ability to teach children that it is okay to make mistakes and be afraid, but it is important to persevere one stomp, jump, twirl, or step at a time. As a Children's Librarian, I recognize how essential it is to impart this message upon children. One Step at a Time! does exactly that through the use of a wonderfully written message and idyllic illustrations."
