Download or read book Finding the Flipside written by Jennifer Law and published by Boys Town Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gabe is ready to give up… like always. But today, he’s in for a big surprise. At breakfast, he wants to impress his mom by making mouthwatering pancakes and then flipping them onto her plate. But his flapjack-flipping skills are stale. When he tosses the biggest, fluffiest cake, he completely misses the target. Now, the tastiest-looking pancake is a broken brown blob on the kitchen floor. It’s a crummy situation and reminds Gabe of every mess and mistake he’s ever made. He thinks he ruins everything, and decides to quit. But as Gabe is about to hand over the family’s special pancake-flipping utensil to his mom, the utensil talks back! And Gabe stops cold. Turner is its name, and Turner tells a stunned Gabe he needs to reset his mindset instead of giving up. Turner encourages him to come up with at least one positive thought or idea instead of thinking it’s a hopeless situation. With more reflection, Gabe figures out that maybe he just needs extra practice. He tries another toss, and this time the pancake lands smack in the middle of Mom’s plate! Gabe’s positive thinking doesn’t last long, however. While doing his homework at the kitchen table, he can’t solve a single math problem and throws his pencil down in a huff. He wants to quit – again. Turner watches Gabe giving up and tells him he needs to relax and flip his thoughts like a pancake so he can see what’s right instead of what’s wrong. Will “flipping the pancake” in his mind help Gabe break free from all his doom-and-gloom thinking, especially when he finds himself in challenging and difficult circumstances? Finding the Flipside is a hope-filled, confidence-building story that shows young readers the power of seeing the brighter side of life and turning negative thoughts into positive ones. A special page written specifically for parents, counselors, and educators offers practical tips on helping children be more optimistic, resilient, and confident.

Book excerpt: A Rumi story turned into a fun, illustrated allegory for kids. The 13th century Sufi mystic, Islamic scholar, Persian poet and storyteller Rumi remains a towering cultural force, and possibly the most widely read poet in the world--especially on the subject of love. Here a simple tale about a donkey keeper staying at an inn becomes a parable for life lessons of joy and sorrow that will be universally understood by children in this adaptation by the Rumi scholar Omid Arabian, illustrated with great humor and authenticity by the Iranian-born artist Shilla Shakoori. The Donkey's Gone is based on a story from The Masnavi, which is an epic compilation of Rumi's wisdom in the form of poems and short stories. Adapted for children, it retains Rumi's wit and insight while also relating a cautionary tale about what we stand to lose when we imitate others and conform.
