    Clementine Gets Unstuck

    Clementine Gets UNSTUCK!

    Written by Christine Corrigan Mendez and Jen Monika McCurdy

    Illustrated by Dana Regan

    Ages 6-8 | 36 Pages

    Publisher: CCM & JMM Wellness LLC

    ISBN-13: 9798985809107 | eBook ISBN-13: 9798985809114

    What to Expect: Emotional regulation, problem-solving, self-control, agency

    Clementine has lots of super cool ideas about everything – what to wear to school, where the school field trip should be, and what to do at the weekend. The problem with having lots of ideas is that they can get all tangled up, leaving Clementine feeling stuck and unhappy. Clementine tries and tries to untangle her ideas on her own, but it is just too hard. Then, the school counselor, Ms. Katie, teaches her a fantastic new tool: Belly breaths. With long, slow breaths to cool down her overheating brain, Clementine can finally sort her ideas out and come up with a very cool plan—the Kids Can Club!

    Smart, creative kids often struggle to keep their bodies moving at the same pace as their brains, and the result is often frustration, anxiety, or sadness. Clementine Gets UNSTUCK! helps readers learn a simple, proven behavioral therapy technique for calming down, slowing down, and taking control of racing thoughts and ideas. An engaging main character, relatable narrative, vibrant, cheerful illustrations, and visual and textual clues reinforce the belly-breath technique, encouraging readers to understand and try it themselves.

    The first in a series to encourage kids to extend their agency from their bodies out into the world by starting a club of their own, Clementine Gets UNSTUCK! is a solid start to what is shaping up to be a fun and empowering series.

      Clementine is an engaging main character who will appeal to children in the recommended age group.
      It has an interesting story and teaches children a simple therapy technique for self-control and problem solving.

      The Kids Can Club offers educational activities for children. I can’t wait to see future books in the series.
