Booki just recently doodled an AMA ('Ask Me Anything')
Who can relate?
"There’s something about the middle school experience that we can’t help but carry with us into adulthood, and I wanted to explore what exactly makes it such a pivotal life stage.
I've actually found that the best audience for FRAZZLED is Grades 3-6... kids in the stage right before middle school. I think a lot of those young readers tend to really identify with Abbie's feelings. That being said, I'm an "adult" and I still identify with her too..."
Everyone worries, and it’s not necessarily bad to worry about things.
"I mostly wanted to normalize the fact that anyone (and everyone) feels frazzled to some extent!"
It's OKAY to have feelings!
Moments of personal crisis should be used for creativity.
Booki regularly visits kids in school.
Booki brings us back to the good old middle school times.
What do you miss about school?
What is it you do not miss about school?
"Hopefully, in its own way, FRAZZLED can be just one of the many books that help young readers feel more comfortable engaging and dealing with their feelings of anxiety."
