The six books in the Growing Up Happy series are written by Dr. Lawrence Shapiro, Ph.D. and are designed to address common emotional and behavioral concerns of elementary school age children. Each title is enhanced with full color, cartoon-style illustrations by Steve Harpster. The digital books are narrated by young actors with an introduction by Dr. Shapiro.

These titles can be a great start to your digital bibliotherapy library and are ideal for use by school counselors, family therapists, and parents trying to help their children cope with emotional issues.
