    Illustrated by Mateya Arkova

    Two little girls pepper their father with questions about whether or not they can be a profession and still be a princess. Motivated by her granddaughter’s fascination with all things ‘princess,’ Carole P. Roman penned this adorable poem celebrating all the wonderful possibilities waiting ahead for them.

    one-to-ten-squirrels-bad-dayOne To Ten: Squirrel’s Bad Day

    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrations by Mateya Arkova

    Squirrel is running along a tree limb when she trips, losing all her acorns into the rushing water of the river below. Angry and frustrated, she doesn’t know what to do. Her good friend, Rabbit, lends both a sympathetic ear as well as a solution. Rather than get angry, Rabbit tells her, rate the problem on a scale of one-to-ten. By identifying and realizing the true importance of the issue, the issue may not seem so overwhelming. Adorable forest creatures help the sad squirrel put everything into perspective so he does not to get stuck in a rut over something that may not be a big deal after all.

    “As well as being a story with likable characters, Roman’s book can be used as a tool to aid in conversations about difficult situations and also to help soothe the minds of young worriers. Highly Recommended.”—The Children’s Book Review

      I think I can use 1 to 10: Squirrels Bad Day and“Can a Princess be a Firefighter?” in my library program. I love the concepts in both books. Great idea to write about worrying as it seems prevalent in many students and parents. Also, writing about girls being empowered to do things that “girls could not do” years ago, is a topic that is important to write about for girls, as well as, boys. Thanks for giving us a chance to share these stories.
