About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small, overlooked, or taken advantage of by a peer and doesn't know how to advocate for themselves. It is a perfect choice for children who are navigating the tricky waters of fairness and learning that they don't need a 'big' protector to handle their own problems. The story follows a tiny crow who is tricked by a lazy weasel into doing all the farm work, only for the weasel to steal the harvest. While the crow initially seeks out a scary wolf for protection, she ultimately discovers that her own voice and spirit are her greatest tools. Set in the lush Tuscan countryside and peppered with charming Italian phrases, this book provides a beautiful model for self-esteem and standing one's ground. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate social dynamics and the importance of personal agency.
