About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's confidence has been shaken by a peer's unkind words or when they are hesitant to express their true interests for fear of being teased. Felix is a sweet guinea pig who loves to dance, but his joy is crushed when a bully calls him Twinkletoes after a talent show performance. It is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the social complexities of school life and learning to protect their inner spark. Through Felix's journey, Rosemary Wells explores the vulnerability of being oneself and the power of supportive friendship. Parents will appreciate how the story moves beyond just ignoring a bully to finding a specific mental tool, a magic key, to regain one's footing. It is a gentle yet practical guide for building resilience and teaching children that while they cannot control what others say, they can control how much power those words hold.
