Jacob X. ★★★★★

My daughter started doing the tapping motions on her own after we finished chapter three, which surprised me since she's usually glued to her tablet. The teasing storyline hit close to home for her, and the bear hug part gave us something to actually practice together.

Zoe B. ★★★★★

We've read this one at bedtime probably twenty times now, and my son actually asked to try the tapping technique himself after a rough day at school. The way it turns a big scary feeling into something a kid can physically do with their own hands is what makes it work.

Andrew ★★★★★

My daughter was dealing with some unkind classmates and this book's Magical Tapping Technique gave her a real coping tool. Lovely to see a girl who loves science struggle and then find her confidence again.
