About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pressure to be perfect or experiencing a 'sore loser' moment. While the original story focused on greed and community, this sequel tackles the internal pressure of performance and the fragile ego that often comes with trying to prove one has changed. It is a powerful tool for discussing how to handle failure without spiraling into anger or isolation. In this story, the Grinch wants to win the Who-ville Christmas Crown to prove he is now the 'best' at Christmas. When he loses, his heart begins to freeze over again. It is a secular, rhyming tale perfect for children ages 5 to 9 who are learning that their worth is not tied to trophies or being the best in the room. Parents will appreciate the way it models an apology and the conscious choice to stay kind even when feelings are hurt.
