Book Synopsis



Teach Kids About Growth Mindset and Trying Something New

What happens when one little raindrop finds the courage to let go?

Way up in the sky, Hopp the raindrop is scared of change. Hopp loves playing with his friends, riding on clouds, and being happy with his safe, predictable life. But he soon learns that staying where he is limits the impact he can have on those around him.

"You have so many gifts to share with the world,
so many dreams to live.
Take a chance little man, let go of this cloud.
Discover the ways you can give."

Don't Be Afraid to Drop is a book for anyone who is at a transitional point in their life. From the kindergartener heading to school, to an adult nearing retirement, and everyone in between, this creative analogy provides all who read it with a positive perspective on change, taking risks, and giving back. There's so much good that can happen when we step beyond our comfort zones and try something new!



Review Quotes




Hopp the raindrop is too worried to drop. It is something new and unfamiliar. This means change and he is afraid to leave the comfort of his home, family, and friends. Our students will be able to relate to Hopp's feelings and many will be able to recall a time they felt the same way. I can imagine lots of different conversations where students are sharing their feelings about change and the ways they handled their fear and were successful. So many great teachable moments here for individual, small group or classroom counseling lessons!

This whimsical and lighthearted "children's" book promises readers of all ages some powerfully important messages about spreading one's wings and expanding ones horizons. Most of all, it reinforces the fact that each of us has within us a valuable gift to share with the world.

I love everything Julia Cook writes, she has such talent in telling stories about social emotional issues while teaching lessons to parents and children. As a School Psychologist, I've read this book with preschoolers to 5th graders, and they have loved it. I'd recommend it to parents as well, who are looking to facilitate conversations about change.
