Ishi: Simple Tips from a Solid Friend

Ishi, a rock with facial features, tells of the emotions he feels, including loneliness, failure, hopelessness, sadness, and despair, and a method he uses to cope with each. This simple, easy-to-read picture book with colourful photographs, provides messages of compassion, mindfulness, and a growth mindset, and can be used to launch individual, small, or large group discussions, to encourage students to make their own Ishi books, and to undertake projects that will allow them to consider positive actions they can take when feeling different emotions. Readers are encouraged to pass on their copy of the book to spread happiness.
