Praise for "The Elephant Who Tried to Tiptoe":
"We love this book. The story and the artwork both brings a smile and teaches a lesson; it accomplishes this for us and our son. For decades, there has been research on the importance of teaching emotional intelligence to children as early as possible.
As new parents, we wondered how to do this and instill values such as openness, mindfulness, and acceptance (of yourself and of others). Andrew Newman's book series accomplishes this beautifully wrapped in delightful artwork and wonderful stories with a lesson." - RichM, Parent.

I read it to my two year old grandson once and he kept asking for the Tip-toeing elephant book! I can't say enough praise for all the books I've bought so far. I just wish I had read them when I was young, but can still learn from them now!

Very sweet book One of my grandaughters does the regulated breathing every night so I liked that it was incorporated in it. The story has a wonderful lesson and the art work was exceptional.

The Dad who Didn't Know
My kids sometimes struggle to understand why their Dad has to be away for work and why sometimes he has to work at home. They are intuitive enough to understand when he not himself due to work stress. Like all kids they tend to think its something they have done wrong. This book helps them understand things from Dads perspective and not take it personally. It has also initiated some great chats about how it can be scary to not know what to do, how worry can take over our thoughts and the importance of finding the best way for ourselves to clear our worries. I love the conversations these books start!

I bought these books for me and some small nieces and future grandbabies. I am so thankful for your books. They’re helping me help others learn what they need to learn. That I wish I could have known at their age. I’m 49 yo and just now reparenting myself and teaching my friends kids with these books. So that when ever I become a grandmother I can help impart some wisdom on them. Thank you again
... while fostering deeper connection with your children.
