S'More is Enough by Brenda Miles is a sweet book. This children's book will help young scholars explore feelings around the subject of being enough. Sometimes you may feel empty or dizzy but this story will help guild you to realize that being you is really enough. I loved the part when they were looking for answers by reading books. The whimsical illustrations will immerse you in the story. There is a great readers notes section at the end of the book to help further discussions with young scholars. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher, American Psychological Association, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great motivational work! The characters are so cute! Love how the book tries to take the reader through different types of food "lifestyles". The adventures and lessons learned by the main characters are ones I hope everyone learns!

This is a short, sweet read that has a much bigger message! I truly loved this book. It has a good message for everyone, regardless of age! The artwork was very cute as well. I would absolutely buy merchandise with this little guy on it!

I love the adorable illustrations as well as the nice flow of wording in the story. I’m a Pre-K teacher and I could just hear my students giggles in my head, if I were to read this book to them. It is definitely a book I would enjoy reading out loud during my class time with them.. I like how it explains that we can be enough, just being who we are, yet strive for more as well. There is a note from the author, a pediatric clinical neuropsychologist with a PhD. At the end of the story. She explains to parents and teachers how this concept works (and brings me back to the days of my child psychology courses in college!). She explains it in a way that allows you to understand how to best use this concept to help children be happy and well adjusted.
Thank you to Netgalley as well as the American Psychological Association/Magination Press for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

S’More is Enough by Brenda S. Miles is such a cute, feel-good story about Graham, a s’more who aspires to be more. The illustrations are awesome and the message is beautifully conveyed….. S’more dreams of other things that he can be until he realizes that he’ is perfect just the way he is.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this affirming SEL read aloud that will help teachers show their students that they are all - just like S’More- more than enough.
