Laugh It Off - Stronger Roots

By Derek Dykstra

Jayla and Max are back-older, wiser, and about to discover that real change starts from the inside out.

After learning how to "repair" friendships in Little Repairs, Room 3A begins a new year with Coach Daniels and one guiding word: CHANGE. From planting their Garden of Grit to rebuilding after a storm, the kids learn that growth is messy, laughter is powerful, and compassion takes practice.

But as middle school looms and a new student named Jayden turns teasing into trouble, Jayla becomes the voice of reason-proving that kindness and courage are stronger than fear.

Warm, funny, and deeply human, Laugh It Off: Stronger Roots celebrates self-awareness, empathy, and resilience-the heart of social-emotional learning. Perfect for classrooms, families, and readers who believe every mistake can grow into something good.
