How To Talk To Your Succulent by Zoe Persico

Well that was adorable and made me cry. Gorgeous artwork with so much heart! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @zoepersico.bsky.social

Very excited for new picture books from @zoepersico.bsky.social!

Written by preschool therapist Ryan Allen Illustrated by Zoe Persico BROTHERS ARE NOT FOR HITTING

About the Book Hands are powerful, amazing tools for playing . . . but hands are not for hitting our friends and family! Wherever Laila goes, her adorable brother Reggie is always close behind. At school, church, even the bath! But on a trip to the zoo, when Laila feels too excited, impatient, overwhelmed, or reluctant to leave, her body tells her it's time to hit! How can Laila find better ways to express her emotions and be safe with her hands?

Out Now!

Written by preschool therapist Ryan Allen with illustrations by @zoepersico.bsky.social , BROTHERS ARE NOT FOR HITTING helps children recognize signs that they are about to hit, and teaches great techniques and positive alternatives to stay safe and have fun.

Coming soon: new projects from @zoepersico.bsky.social @elizabethlilly.bsky.social @kamalani3.bsky.social + more buff.ly/P2CIlp8
