Gimme a Break!
"Voted one of the most beloved children's book for the youngest of girls and boys"
Chan is a caregiver, which means she takes care of people who cannot take care of themselves. It’s a special and important job, but it can be tiring, so Chan is careful to take a break when she needs one.
Presented for children, Gimme a Break! highlights the importance of caregivers caring for themselves as well as those they work with. Some strategies included in the story include connecting with friends and family, exercising, and enjoying a treat from time to time. Above all, Gimme a Break! reminds caregivers that it’s always appropriate to ask for a break.
