About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the everyday friction of early friendships, such as sharing a favorite toy or recovering from a playground spat. Through three short, interconnected stories featuring a dog and a fox, the book explores the cycle of playing, fighting, and making up. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who are still learning that a moment of anger does not mean the end of a friendship. Laura Vaccaro Seeger uses minimal text and expressive illustrations to mirror the emotional volatility of young children. By showcasing how the characters navigate hurt feelings and genuine apologies, the book provides a safe space for parents to discuss the importance of forgiveness. It is a gentle, reassuring guide that validates a child's big emotions while offering a clear path back to joy and connection.
