Description
The Team Supercrew Home Visiting Family Kit: Benny the Brave is a social-emotional learning and emotional regulation kit that helps young children work through worry and practice bravery during new or challenging moments.
ā Developed by experts to complement home visiting programs including Parents as Teachers, Healthy Families America, HIPPY, Early Head Start and more.
The kit is built around our Story, Play, Support model, which complements each program's current structure and offers concrete products, tools, and training to help families navigate big emotions together.
Kids learn best through story and play. We offer storylines children can relate to, with characters they see themselves in and connect with. In Benny the Brave in The First Day Jitters, Benny models how to name a feeling like worry and shows kids that it's okay to have big feelings, especially when something is new.
From there, learning moves into play. The Benny plush helps children bring the story into their imaginary play, practicing what it looks like to be brave. The Reading and Play Guide shows home visitors how to help caregivers support that learning at home. Benny is also a great source of comfort and perfect for cuddles.
Then comes support. The Feelings Chart and Calm Down Chart stay with the family. Children have a simple way to name what they're feeling and choose an activity that helps when worry shows up between visits.
The kit stays with the family so they can keep reading, playing, and practicing together throughout the week. No extra prep needed, just a story and some time together.
Each time children return to the book, they start to see a little of themselves in Benny and begin to believe they can face new challenges too.

Such a cute plush toy and excellent quality. My daughter loves it!
My granddaughter really loves the books, and was so excited and happy to receive Chloe plush doll. She absolutely loves her, and it has really helped her with when she feels upset. Thank you for such a wonderful way to teach her these important lessons.
My daughter needed these plushies after reading the books. She wants to sleep with them all at night now!
My granddaughters love these books and the plush characters. They read the books every night. I would like to see another series come out.
Store owner replied: Thanks Sue. So happy to hear your granddaughters love Team Supercrew! Our next four books in the series have launched!
My son loves superheroes and imitating them specifically fighting and beating up bad guys. How refreshing to have a superhero that looks kind of like him that he brings everywhere we go that is a reminder to be brave and kind.
My 6 year old grandson asks to read these books every day. Great fun for everyone
Bought these books because our 4 yr old son was having issues with expressing himself and regulating his emotions. After reading the books about 3 times, I noticed my son now tries to take deep breaths like Chloe the Calm taught him whenever he is upset. We also noticed him starting to express himself and tell us why he doesn't want to do certain things, instead of lying or getting upset. He used to lie about his bones being broken whenever it was time for bed. He recently told me he doesn't like to go to bed because he is scared of the dark (even though he sleeps in my room). These books have really caused a change in him. We recently signed him up for soccer and I'm hoping he'll remember that Genji taught him about grit and never giving up. I believe these books are a must have in every kids collection. They're so simple, but sometimes simplicity is all that is needed with kids.
I added Gen and Benny with our Chloe and Keisha, and our grandchildren absolutely love them! Thank you for making such adorable dolls to go with the wonderful books!
I got my grandchildren Chloe and Keisha and wanted to add on with Gen! They love all of them!
I thought the dolls are cute, however $100 was too much for what they are. Of course for granddaughter Iāll pay it. Hopefully she will understand the lessons
I will introduce to my 4 grandchildren aged 3-8 this weekend
I bought these for my 3yo grandsons and they were just ok with the story. Never have they chosen these books for story time. They werenāt worth the money for me. Maybe they will like them as they get older? Idk
As an educator and parent of 4 kids, I love the concept of these books. It can be difficult for kids to open up about strong feelings and books like this can serve as powerful gateways to conversation. Unfortunately, the storyline is super basic (dialogue without any real action) and the exact same from one book to the next (just with a new emotion inserted). I think these books have a lot of potential, but the authors need to flex their creative writing muscles a little bit more.
This book series was OK for little guys, only 1-2 sentences per page. I was hoping to use them with an ASD classroom (grade K-1) but I wish they addressed these emotions from within a classroom standpoint. There were fine for addressing emotions at home, but not so useful for school as my students couldnāt carryover & relate the guidance from the home situation to the school situation.
We bought these for my son to help with emotions. He loves these books. We have read them a million times. I would recommend for anyone that wants books on emotions.
We had a nice time with my son reading this book. It is interesting and helps children deal with their big emotions and teaches them the basic rules of life.
These stories were fantastic. I loved the art work and the tone was fun and easy to follow but had a great way of explaining the big emoticons and ideas for kids to understand.
The kids love it š Thank you
It's a really nice collection about the adventures of Benny the Brave and his friends, it's like reading about emotion similar to Disney's inside out and the best part is you get four of them in a bundle of joy.
āTeam Supercrew - Emotions and Powers - 4 Book Box Setā is a really great concept to have all four of these Supercrew books in one box that deal with learning to be Brave, being Kind, staying Calm, and having the Grit to not give up. As a parent, I feel like these four books go well together and make a great series of stories to read to children that are going through some of these issues in their own lives.
I found the books helpful. Especially it's the beginning of the school year. The kids are now nervous and with self-doubt. I like the "What if" that has a positive take on it. Usually, people say "what ifs" in a negative aspect. Never thought of what ifs being a positive way to see things. I read this series to my children. They like the stories, and you can see them thinking more deeply about how to handle things.
The heroes of this book help children past common fears, anxiety, and stress. The heroes are Brave, Kind, Calm, and Grit(ty). Some of the stories felt a bit forced, the characters could have been more developed, they lacked depth. It seemed like the stories were created to emphasize specific lessons rather than the insights arising organically.
These books have been great at helping teach my 3-year-old about his emotions and ways he can learn to express and control them. The stories are short and cute, and there are questions you can ask at the end to encourage conversation about emotions.
Great idea to present emotions as superpowers for children. The only thing I wish was different would be for the emotions to not be gendered so stereotypically. The boys were brave and grit and the girls were calm and kind.
I love these books. I have read two of them before. This compilation contains four books that empower children. They work on such important aspects as the need for rest, jealousy between siblings, insecurities about the first day of school and insecurities in sports. The illustrations are of high quality and every detail is taken care of. The accompanying texts are of similar quality.
These books have been really helpful for my 4 year old anxious PDA child. She really enjoys them and theyāve been a great resource for us.
Purchased for my 4 & 2 yr old. They love it and request we read these every night before bed. Definitely their favorite out of their ginormous selection of books.
Every child has superpowers, and with the help of the Team Supercrew, they learn to see their fears from a new perspective. This book offers different options for facing those fears, encouraging kids to find creative solutions and maintain a positive mindset. Itās a fantastic tool to empower children and help them build self-confidence.
Love this little superhero! Hoping he will be my grandson's favorite stuffy.
I liked that this book was different from others by using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a social-emotional therapy that focuses on the ways that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected.
These books are so great. Teach great lessons. Daughter loves them.
My daughter has big emotions and Iām always looking for ways to help her regulate those. I found this super hero set and thought āwhy notā. She really enjoys reading them and a few times as referred to them when she feels a big emotion. I think itās a good tool to have on hand as a parent.
I love these 4 superhero kids. My son is now trying to imitate them after we read multiple times this book and their adventures
Engaging, fun, and beautifully-illustrated stories that help give kids and their caregivers great examples and vocabulary for talking about emotions. The key take-aways aren't that big emotions (anger, sadness, frustration, fear), are bad -- everyone experiences them and they are normal. Acknowledging that, the books give excellent examples through age-appropriate storytelling about how kids can acknowledge and then challenge the thoughts behind the emotions, learn, and grow. Truly great!
Perfect tools to help kids deal with big emotions. They've been great for my 5 year old and way easier to understand and apply compared to the "Little Spot of Emotions" Series. Highly Recommend.
This book set explains that it's okay to feel sad or anger,fear or frustration. The feelings aren't bad to have it's normal to feel upset. It's how you deal with those feelings that matters. The stories in these books are great they teach children that to be brave , kind , or calm is a superpower. In these books children learned to sort out those feelings so they can be kind , brave , etc
My daughter loves these books! They are really helping with her emotions and helping with going to daycare every morning. They really do help toddlers learn how to deal with each situation.
All four books were a BIG hit in our house. The illustrations were great, and the stories were inspirational and entertaining. I enjoyed the conversations we had about each story. I am adding this box set to the list of books I like to buy as gifts.
This is the kind of book I wish my mom would have read to me as a child. It helps to empower children to recognize their emotions, understand itās ok to feel that way, and choose a more empowering thought. My daughter loves this series!
