No Is a Good Word

By Bharti Singh

When Zoe tells Sia that she can't share her new set of paints, Sia is upset. But Zoe has a message for Sia: saying "no" doesn't make someone unkind. Sia doesn't believe it though--she avoids saying no and hurting people's feelings. But upon further reflection, Sia realizes that "no" can be a helpful word, one that keeps her safe, honest, and kind to herself. She finds that it's good to trust her feelings and say what she really wants, even when it's hard. This sweet, rhyming book is beautifully illustrated to catch readers' eyes as they learn this important lesson. Clear and engaging text delivers a strong message about essential social and emotional skills.
