Giveaway: The Upsides of You Being You Prize Pack (Includes $50 VISA Gift Card!)

by

Thanks to Disney-Hyperion for sending me a copy of Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker and for providing a prize pack!

I know I always appreciate age-appropriate reading recommendations for my younger kids, so I’m pleased to share with you this book by a brand new author that’s perfect for elementary age readers that are just beginning chapter books!

Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker is sweet, funny, and entertaining, all wrapped up with a great message about not being afraid to do your own thing. The cute illustrations give young eyes a break from too much text on a page while helping to keep them engaged in the story.

Recommended for ages 9-12, it’s available for purchase now!

Beatrice does her best thinking upside down.

Hanging from trees by her knees, doing handstands . . . for Beatrice Zinker, upside down works every time. She was definitely upside down when she and her best friend, Lenny, agreed to wear matching ninja suits on the first day of third grade. But when Beatrice shows up at school dressed in black, Lenny arrives with a cool new outfit and a cool new friend. Even worse, she seems to have forgotten all about the top-secret operation they planned!

Can Beatrice use her topsy-turvy way of thinking to save the mission, mend their friendship, and flip things sunny-side up?

Learn more on the official Beatrice Zinker site.

    I teach my kids to see the “rainbow after the storm.” So much of what we go through is temporary…and at times, we have to get through the tough stuff/storms to get to the rainbow.

    I listen and try to relate. Help them see the better side of things and ask how they can prevent others from feeling down.

    I teach my kids to look on the bright side. Life doesn’t always go like we planned so it’s important to have a sense of humor and look at things from a different perspective when possible. And never be afraid to be yourself. Even if it isn’t like everyone else!!

    My children have been taught to think of the positive rather than the negative. When things are going wrong we can usually find at least one thing that is still going right.

    I’d love to enter – I don’t have kids yet, but I have two nieces and a nephew. I think they are pretty positive about life and changes!

    Try to share similar experiences I had with them or point out how whatever is going on is not that big of a deal.

    I would love to share this book with my students and use the gift card to buy more books for my classroom library. I think this book would lead to great discussions!

    We always take whatever is wrong and make jokes until we come up with a positive side to things.

    I teach my grandsons to flip things sunny-side up when things seem to being going wrong by telling them to only think of the positives.
