About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing signs of burnout, irritability, or 'over-scheduling' stress. As children transition into the middle school years, the pressure to participate in every club and social event can lead to a heavy mental load. This graphic novel follows Olive as she navigates the difficult realization that saying yes to everyone else often means saying no to her own well-being. Through a realistic and relatable lens, the story explores the value of setting boundaries and the importance of self-care. It is a perfect choice for kids aged 8 to 12 who are high achievers or social butterflies struggling to balance their responsibilities. Parents will appreciate how it validates the feeling of being 'crunched' while providing a gentle roadmap for how to step back and reorganize without letting friends down.
