What PEOPLE Are Saying

★★★★★

“Soda the Shrimp is a fun and silly story about being rude, having self-awareness, and forgiving others. Even though my son is a bit young to understand the content, he was engaged and asked many "why" questions while reading it together. I like the book's topic, and it's a good starting point to teach him about social-emotional skills.”
