Taming the Green-Eyed Monster: Raising Resilient Children
Jealousy can have a negative impact on your child’s life: from isolation to aggressiveness. Teach kids about sharing, social skills, and ways to handle this Green-Eyed Monster as they grow.
[Salt Lake City, UT, April 2022] Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization, over 250 million people worldwide live with depression? Such mental diseases (and other problems) can develop by not addressing jealousy issues early on. Kids should learn that feeling jealous is normal, but becoming overly possessive, behaving aggressively, or isolating themselves isn’t.
Teaching how to handle emotions can be challenging for parents or even teachers, but it’s definitely necessary for a healthy childhood. So having socio-emotional books to support this early learning journey is life-changing. It can give you the opportunity to talk with your child about how they can handle those big feelings.
If your little one is having trouble with their new sibling, or they have constant tantrums because they want things that belong to someone else… They can benefit from various tools such as learning to recognize the feeling of jealousy, using breathing techniques, creating a mood thermometer, and so many others! Don’t focus exclusively on curriculum as you plan your child’s education, raise emotionally strong children for a better and healthier future.
Along Came Oliver’s picture book focuses on the jealousy provoked in a friendship by the arrival of a new student. However, its complementary activity book presents different types of jealousy (from things to people). The latter also teaches multiple techniques to handle these feelings as well as it gives access to a free counseling resource. Let your child learn through fun as you bond throughout this engaging and heartwarming story written and illustrated by Kelle Lima.

Q&A
WHY DID YOU WRITE ALONG CAME OLIVER?
When I was a kid I had my very best friend... That's at least until another girl started stealing my best friend away! (seriously, I was SO PROUD to say our birthdays were in the same month... That's at least until the new kid and my best friend had the same exact DAY! Seriously who can beat that?! Haha! Well, I wish I had the social and emotional ability to deal with that situation a bit better. I felt like I lost the chance to have another great friend by my side instead of driving the only one I had away. So, I decided to help kids understand their feelings and handle them a bit better than myself. I want to see my own daughter thrive emotionally as she grows!
SO FAR, YOUR BOOKS HAVE BEEN RELEASED AS PART OF A SERIES. IS THIS ALSO AN EMERGING SERIES?
Nope. Unless you count the activity book or the translations as a series, haha! But let me tell you a secret: there is a series coming soon!!! I can't wait to share about that!
WHAT WAS CHALLENGING ABOUT WRITING AND ILLUSTRATING THIS BOOK?
I would say that my first challenge was to make sure the story had a good arc and used the right words for the audience (since my first language is not English). This story went through SO MANY critiques, haha! It was amazing to see it develop and become this amazing book.
Illustrating it was a unique experience, to be honest. The dummy came to me naturally, and it married the text quite smoothly, but the final style... That took a lot of experimentation!
Join this journey of friendship, jealousy, and sharing along with Oliver, Lilly, and Billy!
