“Genhart clearly articulates how, when bullying occurs, it can be
hard to know what to do. He encourages readers to avoid responding
in kind, practice kindness (both to themselves and others), and
talk to adults. It’s a solid resource for conflict meditation in
clinical or school settings.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“People of all ages can learn and grow from the message of this
offering. A great addition to collections.” —School Library
Journal
“Children will learn strategies that will empower them to stand up
to insults and hurtful language. This is a book that all children
can identify with because they have been on both sides, as the
perpetrator and receiver. Genhart also helps kids to recognize
their own hurtful language in a way that doesn’t shame.”
—Children’s Books Heal
“Ouch Moments is published by Magination Press, an arm of the
American Psychological Association. Their books stand on firm
ground. The multicultural illustrations are engaging and feature
diverse circumstances. This would be an excellent read for the
entire family; sometimes even adults need to be reminded of the
important lessons Ouch Moments strives to teach. This book includes
an informative and practical ‘Note to Parents and Caregivers.’”
