This resource was created by Brenda, author of It’s Okay Not to Know, a children’s book designed to support young readers as they navigate uncertainty and learning.
Her work focuses on turning big ideas into simple, meaningful classroom conversations. This resource may be shared with educators and families for classroom use.
