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 try to show them that their life is better than someone who is sick, injured, homeless, etc. to better appreciate what they have. It makes their problem not quite as life-impacting as they thought it was.

I talk with them and try to find at least one thing that is good, so that they don’t feel like everything is wrong/bad. We have a lot of conversations about attitude.
