About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with feelings of exclusion, sibling rivalry, or the frustration of being treated unfairly by those who should care for them. While many versions of this tale exist, Sarah Gibb's interpretation focuses on the inner strength required to remain kind when others are not. It is a beautiful resource for children navigating blended family dynamics or those who need to believe that their current hardships are not their permanent reality. Through the lens of classic magic, the story reinforces that hope and a gentle spirit are powerful tools for change. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to notice social hierarchies and the value of perseverance. Parents will find it a soft opening to discuss how we treat others even when we are tired or sad, emphasizing that every child deserves to be seen and celebrated.
