Brother's Day Out is a fun story about two brothers sharing a special day packed with fun activities. Nicholas has cognitive and physical disabilities that can make it challenging for him to socialize and make friends. Austin creates a special day where he can focus on Nicholas and plan activities tailored to Nicholas' gifts and interests. This act of kindness generates a strong bond between siblings and teaches compassion.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is important for children and helps them develop necessary life skills not the least of which is building strong relationships and making good decisions. This can be especially challenging for siblings of children facing chronic illness or diagnosis. Creating intentional moments for your children to connect offers an opportunity for:

• Shared moments of joy and fun between siblings (or peers if using in classroom)
• Creating a moment between parents and children to check-in on how they are feeling and coping
• Introducing children to planning
• Creating new memories
