Samia's First Day at Gymnastics: A book to help children overcome their fears. (Samia Ali Books)

My niece loves this book. My niece noticed Samia's hair and said, " she has hair like me!" It's really nice that there are books like this .. that little black girls can identify with!

We enjoyed reading this book! After we finished reading it, my 5yr old immediately told her 12yr old sister to breathe deeply and let it out slowly when she is mad at her! I like how both parents worked together to assist their child with the fearful emotions that she was experiencing. I also love how the characters are of color. Awesome book😊

Daughter loves this book

What a great story! This story teaches kids about the emotions people sometimes experience when they are trying something new. However it doesn’t stop there! It also teaches kids great breathing techniques to calm down and regain control of those emotions. This is such a timely message for kids as they navigate change in the world. It is also beautifully illustrated. My 6 year old loved it! Bravo!!

Great story and lesson for kids on how to calm themselves down when nervous or anxious. The quality of the paperback is great too! Looking forward to reading more of Samia’s adventures.
