The "Best Me I Can Be!" series by Julia Cook is a collection of books designed to teach children essential social skills, including listening and following instructions.

The first book in the series, "RJ's Worst Day Ever," follows the story of a young boy who learns that his problems arise from not paying attention or listening to those around him.

Through rhyming text and relatable scenarios, this book teaches children the importance of listening and following instructions in four simple steps.

The series also includes tips for parents and educators on how to teach and encourage these skills in kids.

With a focus on social-emotional learning, these books are an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and school counselors looking to promote positive behaviors in children.
