Description
This warm hug of a book harnesses the love and inspiration we all need to navigate our increasingly complex and difficult world. Following the immense success of their hotline, Peptoc creators Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss invited youth from around the globe to make posters with messages of encouragement, hang them up in their communities, and submit photos of their work to share. The result is this collection of disarmingly earnest, often hilarious advice that only children could give.
Whether it’s the California kindergartener who advises his neighbors to “be grateful for yourself” or the 8-year-old from Alaska who suggests, “If you’re frustrated, go get your wallet and buy ice cream and shoes”––one of these wise youngsters will prompt even the jaded reader to pause, reflect, and see things in a new light.
A tangible reminder of our human capacity for hope amidst hardship, this colorful collection makes a thoughtful, uplifting gift for anyone who could use a pep talk.

We are human, not flowers that have to be in bloom all the time.
What is something you could do or say to help someone who is having a hard day? This is the start of the organization Peptoc, which originated in USA but now involves countries from all over the world. This book is full of inspirational posters from people between the ages of 6 and 21, from different experiences and cultures.

Thank you for the EArc NetGalley and Andrews McMeel. Who doesn’t need a pick me up now and then and where better to get advice then from the innocent? This book is such a beautiful reminder of why we should listen to our youth. They have such a pure, no nonsense take on life and it is so refreshing. If ever you are having a bad day and just need a gentle reminder of how wonderful you are or that things will be ok this book and it’s call in number are for you. Pick it up, read it, keep it by your side and share the knowledge within.

This is such a cute collection! I had heard of the phone hotline but didn't know about the poster movement. Can't wait to purchase this for our library!

An inspiring and uplifting project that has so many possibilities for folks who work with kids, youth, teens, group projects and community projects.
This book is a great reminder that goodness exists in the world, whether you need the reminder for yourself or want to create that reminder for others.

This is an excellent coffee table book for when you need a pep talk. My favorite poster is the pink one encouraging you to take a break.

I received a copy of this in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.
You seriously need to read this book.
If you're anything like me, full of constant stress and worries - get this book. Who knew that some super sweet and funny messages from little humans would take some weight off my shoulders and make me smile?!
I plan on grabbing a physical copy of this book when it comes out. So worth it.
Would I read other books by this author? Absolutely.
