Benny the Brave in The First Day Jitters (Team Supercrew Series): A children’s book about big emotions, bravery, and first day of school jitters.

Team Supercrew’s Benny the Brave is here to remind kids that they have the power to be BRAVE inside of them whenever they need it! Sarah is having a tough morning. She’s about to start a new school that’s on a distant planet. She doesn’t have any friends yet. Her teacher may or may not be a swamp creature. And worse, lunch looks like it’s wriggling, slimy and alive! But just before the school bus arrives, Team Supercrew’s Benny the Brave comes to the rescue! He’s there to remind Sarah that these worst-case fears in her mind are okay, and that she has the power to change these thoughts. She has the power to be BRAVE, and it just might be closer to find than she thinks. The Team Supercrew Book Series is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a social-emotional therapy that focuses on the ways that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. Our thoughts create our feelings! When we develop the tools to change our negative thoughts, we learn how to regulate our emotions in a positive way. The Team Supercrew heroes, Benny the Brave, Keisha the Kind, Chloe the Calm, and Gen the Grit, bring these tools to children and families in a fun, engaging, and unexpected way.  There’s a hero in all of us. Team Supercrew. Be Extraordinary.
