About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts making snap judgments about others based on their size, age, or physical appearance. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels frustrated by their own smallness or, conversely, for the child who underestimates peers who are smaller than they are. Through a relatable family outing, the story gently challenges the 'bigger is better' mindset and encourages a more nuanced view of capability. In this story, Molly Pink goes on a family hike and finds herself making assumptions about the strength and stamina of those around her. As the trail gets tougher, she discovers that physical stature does not always equal endurance or bravery. It is a sweet, realistic look at sibling dynamics and the internal labels children place on themselves and others. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating social comparisons and learning the value of inner character over outward appearance.
