Why Is Your New Children’s Book Actually A Children’s Book For Adults?

Joy Eggerichs Reed and her father Dr. Emerson Eggerichs share the heart behind their children’s book Beega Gets a Do-Over, which uses humor, whimsical storytelling in the land of Nuf, and engaging characters to teach kids and adults the four foundational communication pillars: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Is it clear?

Beega Gets a Do-Over sparks imagination and supports social-emotional learning for parents, grandparents, educators, and families.
