Editorial Review Debbie Zeichner, LCSW, Parent Coach and Mindfulness Instructor As a parent coach supporting parents in raising kids who are kind, compassionate, empathetic and inclusive, it was such a pleasure to find and read, Marshmallow Magic: The Biggest Order Ever. This sweet book is full of important themes such as friendship, teamwork, problem solving, appreciating and accepting differences, inclusivity and more! This story about a young girl with food allergies who learns to "look on the bright side" and find positive ways to deal with challenging feelings, offers inspiration and hope for young readers who may feel different or alone in whatever they are dealing with. I loved the way the characters supported each other as they worked together to solve a challenge and how focused they were on recognizing when others needed acknowledgment and support as well. I especially loved the creative use of vocabulary words and definitions! I highly recommend this book to any parent, teacher or caregiver and look forward to sharing it with other families.
