Snellville, Georgia – WEBWIRE – Tuesday, July 30, 2019

As children grow up, they can manifest mental health conditions similar to those of adults. Crisis counselor and licensed therapist Jimmie A. Vincent takes this up in “Bichon the Brave: Helping Hounds Presents.”

The first in a four-part series, the idea for this children’s book is to focus on some of the common mental health concerns among young children, especially elementary-aged students. Although entertaining, it doesn’t stray from its main objective. While educating kids about potential behavioral and mental health issues, it also helps them come up with effective solutions to their problems. The book’s colorful illustrations and engaging tone add to its reader-friendly appeal.

Readers have lauded the book for its purpose. Some were happy to have found it after failing to find similar works. Others appreciated its encouragement of kids to share their concerns and entrusting them to other people. Several people liked its contribution to mental health education in communities. The book has gathered five-star ratings and positive reviews on Amazon.

“Bichon the Brave: Helping Hounds Presents” helps kids understand and deal with possible mental health concerns that need addressing. Interested parties can purchase copies from selected online bookstores.
