Jacob and the Cloud

by Kelsey Irving, Emeline Leyens (Illustrator)

Something is bothering Jacob and it seems to follow him wherever he goes, like a big dark cloud. Jacob is tired of the cloud and tries everything he can to get rid of it. Read along as Jacob learns by trial and error how to stop resisting the cloud and start building confidence and resilience for overcoming life's challenges. Written by a licensed mental health counselor, this story incorporates concepts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a way that gives the reader easy-to-use strategies for working through challenging emotions. Children (and adults) can learn that experiencing tough feelings such as anxiety, anger and sadness does not have to keep them from doing what they love.
