A helping hand with math

Hanna is confident on the sports field, but math leaves her feeling out of her depth. As she struggles to manage the confusion alone, the story turns to asking for and offering help. Its everyday contrast between different strengths gives young children a concrete way to talk about self-confidence, feelings, and working together. Part of the Big Bright Feelings picture-book series, it also offers a starting point for conversations about emotional wellbeing.

  • Young children encountering frustration with schoolwork or other challenges

Book overview

What can you do when you're feeling stuck? From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry comes a reassuring story about relying on others and accepting that it's okay to ask for help.

Hanna is happy to enjoy playing her favorite sports-because she's great at them! She's not so great at math, but her classmates seem to solve their math problems as easily as Hanna kicks a soccer ball or swings a tennis racket. Contending her confusion on her own gets too overwhelming, leading Hanna to discover the simple magic of lending and receiving a helping hand!

This charming picture book reminds children that we are all good at different things, and that life is easier when we work together rather than struggling on our own.

The Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics-from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings.
