The Amazing Erik is a hardcover children's picture book that helps young readers understand and manage difficult emotions through an engaging classroom story.

Story Overview

Playing at the water table is fun. But Erik thinks getting splashed is not fun. When his sleeve gets wet, Erik gets sad, and he can't imagine ever being happy again. Then, with a classmate by his side, Erik becomes absorbed by a new idea: making the water disappear. As it does, Erik discovers his sadness has vanished and happiness has reappeared, like magic.
