About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is navigating the sting of a small disappointment, like a dropped ice cream scoop or a broken toy. It is the perfect tool for those 'big feelings' moments where a child feels a sudden sense of loss over something small but significant to them. This silly board book follows Narwhal and Jelly as they navigate a tiny accident: Narwhal accidentally pops Jelly's favorite bubble. Through vibrant, high-contrast illustrations and playful puns, the story models how a friend can offer empathy and help shift a child's perspective from sadness to curiosity. It is an excellent choice for children aged 0 to 3, providing a gentle introduction to emotional resilience and the idea that one lost joy can lead to many new discoveries.
