"In this beautifully written and illustrated children's book, Kim Tubb's has created the perfect read for this most challenging of times for our children. As our young ones struggle with Covid realities and technology overload, the essential developmental skill of Emotional Intelligence has greatly suffered, leaving them ill-equipped to handle not only life's rainy days, but even the sunny ones as well. A great book for children and a wonderful tool for parents who want to help their children's emotional awareness and development." – Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D, Author of "Glow Kids"
"Lavy’s journey as she learns to find the gifts within life’s disappointments is a heartwarming story of love, happiness, and mindset. Kim Tubbs convincingly demonstrates the value of being present, connecting with those we love, and altering our thinking. Lavy’s mom gave her the support and tools to work through difficult emotions and find the joy that comes from positive thinking. Truly, a must read for all ages." – Dr Phillip Morris PsyD, Pediatric Neuropsychologist
“Lavy’s Rainy Day beautifully illustrates an important point: gifts don’t have to be tangible to be amazing. Pull out this book with your little one on a rainy day. Kids may not ask for one-on-one time directly but they certainly crave–and need–it. Give your little one a gift of your time and attention.” – Dr. Ben Lynch, best-selling author of Dirty Genes and founder of Seeking Health
"A very crucial piece to developing minds, Lavy’s Rainy Day provides a young insight into understanding emotional fluctuations and early concepts of changing our thoughts and perspective. This book is a valuable tool for teaching early skills of understanding our connection between thoughts and emotions. A great read for parents to share with their children." - Dr. Desiree Frazier, Clinical Psychologist
"The practice of emotional intelligence is the gift that allows space for heartbreak and joy, disappointment and gratitude, struggle and strength. Lavy’s Rainy Day illustrates this practice of emotional intelligence with compassion and patience. A throughline in the book’s message is the mother’s ability to affirm Lavy is capable of working through this challenge and how empowering it is to allow space for children to grow into their resilience. This kind of modeling builds connection. Brava Kim, this book will help so many!” – Vanessa M. Sanford, MS, Licensed Professional Counselor/Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist
