- Pause Power – Learning to stay calm when your buttons get pushed.
- Practicing Patience – How to wait patiently when your body doesn’t want to.
“Get. This. Book. I love that the story shows multiple examples of the character struggling with calming himself in frustrating situations. The story didn’t say, ‘if you use pause power you won’t feel frustrated ever again!’ It was more, ‘you’re going to be frustrated, but pause power can help you to react differently and avoid hurting others.’ I’ve even caught myself noticing when my buttons are being pushed and I need to pause and breathe. So basically, I’ll stop reading all these 200+ page self-help books and stick to kids’ books for my self-improvement 😂😂” - Alex R., Verified Purchaser
“The lesson of this story has the potential to lessen so much trouble in the world. I find myself remembering (and imitating) the look of calm on Gabe's face at end of the story when I'm annoyed with traffic. I look forward to reading more books by Jennifer Law. She has a knack for teaching important skills in a fun way.” - John L., Purchaser
