About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'mine' phase or becoming overly possessive and suspicious of others. It is an ideal choice for a child who finds waiting for a reward nearly impossible, or for the little perfectionist who feels a deep sense of injustice when things do not go exactly as planned. The story follows a boisterous boar who is so busy guarding his precious clover from imagined thieves that he misses what is happening right in front of him. Through hilarious misunderstandings and a clever mystery, the book explores themes of patience, frustration, and the way our own assumptions can cloud our judgment. It is perfectly pitched for the preschool and early elementary years (ages 4 to 8), offering a gentle mirror for big emotions. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor to de-escalate the intensity of possessiveness, showing that sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to take a deep breath and change your perspective.
