Henry Says reminds children (and a few adults, too) that each of them is lovable and capable. This inspirational book for children helps them realize that becoming important and being successful is about what they do, not what someone else says. With uncommon comments attached to fun pictures, this book is designed to help children and others think about how to face and overcome challenges. Its unstated emphasis is on the problems created by someone being mean to other people-by focusing on prevention and learning alternative solutions. The ideas presented help youngsters realize that they have better and more fun things to do than to believe mean comments directed at or about them. Just as important, it helps children understand that there are better (and safer) things to do than to help someone be mean to other people. Most of all, though, it helps them recognize that sometimes the answer is as simple as finding something better to do. Because, an ounce of prevention knocks the socks off a pound of cure.
