Excellence in Children's Nonfiction Award Winner of a 2016 Family Choice Award "Genhart clearly articulates how, when bullying occurs, it can be hard to know what to do. He encourages readers to avoid responding in kind, practice kindness (both to themselves and others), and talk to adults. It's a solid resource for conflict meditation in clinical or school settings." - Publisher's Weekly "People of all ages can learn and grow from the message of this offering. A great addition to collections." --School Library Journal "Children will learn strategies that will empower them to stand up to insults and hurtful language. This is a book that all children can identify with because they have been on both sides, as the perpetrator and receiver. Genhart also helps kids to recognize their own hurtful language in a way that doesn't shame.

" -- Children's Books Heal " Ouch Moments is published by Magination Press, an arm of the American Psychological Association. Their books stand on firm ground. The multicultural illustrations are engaging and feature diverse circumstances. This would be an excellent read for the entire family; sometimes even adults need to be reminded of the important lessons Ouch Moments strives to teach. This book includes an informative and practical 'Note to Parents and Caregivers.'" --GayleHSwift.com.
