What Do You Do With a Problem? — New York Times best seller

This has a beautiful story and the whole series is wonderful! The imagery and the words not only tell a story but teach.

Great story centering around a young boy’s interaction with a problem. Loved the story and the illustrations. I love children’s books anyway for the writing is often clear, concise and the illustrations, beautiful. This book is no exception and I have already sent it to a fellow adult for inspiration and plan to use it as a gift to my grandkids and their parents.

Great picture book even for adult learning. Illustrations are sweet and the message is powerful!

I just can't say enough positive things about this new Kobi Yamada book! From the viewpoint of a teacher and school counselor, I immediately identified so many ways that this book can help kids face problems and find the silver lining in difficult situations. So many of our students are riddled with anxiety and worry and there really isn't a great deal of information for adults to help kids take some of the weight off their overburdened shoulders. Kobi Yamada teaches kids that every problem also brings new opportunities, and with some practice, kids can learn how to extract meaning from the burdens they carry. If you're a teacher or counselor who wants to pair your book purchase with a literature unit to practice reframing problems, do a search on Teachers Pay Teachers. I've created companions for both of Kobi's books (Store: Kirsten's Kaboodle) and other product creators will surely be creating resources in the days to come. Many thanks to Kobi Yamada and Mae Besom for creating such a gem of a book... it truly has the potential to change kids' lives! Hurray!

Excellent product for children

As an educator, nanny and future therapist I can say that this book is a masterpiece. I bought it as a gift for a loved one who struggles with depression and I ended up buying one for myself as well. The illustration is amazing !

Kobi Yamada's books are entertaining for both children and adults. This is a great follow-up to "What do you with an idea?". In both books, the author writes about the feelings of being faced with an idea or a problem, mustering up courage and facing them. These are abstract concepts for children but the illustrator does a great job turning these abstract ideas into something concrete. Even so, my child is still a bit young but the book does provide us with some talking points. "Remember when you were scared to get up the slide? That's how this boy felt." Overall, these books are keepers. Even though my child is still a bit young to understand the abstract idea of problems, it's an entertaining read that is sure to grow with us as she gets older

I first purchased two copies the title What to do With an Idea a couple of Christmas's ago. I just purchased What Do You Do With a Problem as a Christmas gift for this year. The children's ages are 5-8-9. They are all wonderfully written and illustrated and offer such nice opportunities to talk about the stories. There is something truly magical about a well written book and all of these by this author are just that.

Sometimes, as a parent, we don’t know what kind of things the kid has gone through at school, this is a great book for them to understand that when there is a problem, the parents are always here to help. there’s no shame to discuss the problem, and parents are always here to support them through the journey. I bought this book for my kids so that they can share their feelings, and if there are any obstacles or problems that they have a school, they can communicate and open to discussion with us. This is a great book to read, I would recommend for every parent.

give you kid a heads up to their future.

いまひとつ一般的な話しで、子ども達が喜んで聞いてくれるかなと思いました。具体的な困難な状況に、どう立ち向かったらいいかが書いてあるといいのかなと思いました。が、子ども達がどう感じるのかはわかりませんが。

Loved the storyline and illustration. Read it to a students and they adored it. The themes surrounding: perseverance & courage are on point.
