Nice Shoes! by Dennis Gillan and Stephen Pihl. The perfect book to help parents, teachers, and caregivers open a dialog with children about having a bad day and dark thoughts, and also about how they can brighten the day of someone else who might really need it. Life has its ups and downs. Especially for children, it can be hard to see the silver lining when things go awry. “Sometimes dark thoughts can overwhelm a child,” Gillan says. “But a kind word from another can really go a long way toward chasing off those negative thoughts.” This positive and inspirational story was based on Pihl’s own experience at school. “In writing this book for kids, I want to show how easy it is to help others, and how important doing so can be in someone’s life.”
