About the Book

Say YES with joy!

"If you know you are ultimately going to drive your child to the mall, let your daughter have a 3-person sleepover or allow your son an extra cookie after dinner - just go straight to a happy YES! When you offer up an awesome gesture as if you are doing your kids a big favor, it takes the fun out of it. It is so easy to add joy to your delivery with "Sure!" or "I'd be happy to!" or "Let's do that!" Your enthusiasm will make your child feel even better about your YES, but best of all, it will make you feel great."(Parenting Golden Rule #1)

To call Sue a miracle worker is an understatement. Sue has coached me through it all—communicating better with my rambunctious toddler, establishing healthier relationships with our support system (family and external), and teaching me various tools and prompts to stay firm on the important things and let the little things go. She’s a light in our family’s life.

Meet the Illustrator

Arguably one of Finland’s most prolific illustrators working today, Sanna Mander’s cheerful work evokes catalogues and editorial illustrations of the 1960s with a contemporary twist. In 2006 she won Cannes Young Creatives and was awarded Junior of the year in 2007 at the Finnish Best of the Year advertising and design competition. Inspired by the luscious flora and fauna surrounding her in her native Finland, Sanna’s images are mixed media odes to the unpredictable, cluttered joys of the world around her.
