Join us for a thoughtfully crafted Zoom program for elementary-aged children to help them prepare to head back to school with a focus on their mental health. Authors Diana Rock and Hannah Cohen will read their book "Ezra's Invisible Backpack" and lead a discussion with students about how to support yourself and your friends, ask for help, and how to manage worries when returning to school while in a pandemic. Parents are welcome and encouraged too!
Hannah Cohen and Dina Rock are co-authors of Ezra’s Invisible Backpack but they are also elementary school teachers. With decades of childcare experience, they felt the topic of children’s mental health was immensely missing from parenting and education discussions. Thus they created this book to inspire empathy in children, empower them to identify their individual struggles, and help them recognize that they're not alone. Ezra’s Invisible Backpack is a concrete tool for children to utilize in their daily lives to better understand and express their emotions.
