About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's attempts to be helpful end in a giant mess or more work for you. It is the perfect tool for navigating that tricky stage where a child has a heart full of gold but a clumsy set of hands. This classic story follows Little Miss Helpful as she tries to assist her friends, only to leave a trail of accidental chaos in her wake. Through its signature absurdist humor, the book validates the child's desire to contribute while gently introducing the idea that sometimes 'helping' requires thinking through the consequences first. It is an excellent choice for building resilience and teaching kids how to handle the embarrassment of a mistake with a sense of humor. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, it transforms a frustrating parenting moment into a shared laugh.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical in its approach to failure and social dynamics. There are no heavy topics like death or divorce. The focus is strictly on the social-emotional friction of being 'too' helpful.
