About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is preparing for a first solo adventure or needs encouragement to maintain their kindness when facing difficult social situations. It serves as a gentle bridge for children who are beginning to navigate the world outside their immediate family bubble, offering a blueprint for how to handle strangers and unexpected obstacles with grace. Through the story of Mowgli's train journey to see his grandmother, the book explores the power of politeness and the courage required to do the right thing even when others are being difficult. It is particularly well suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing their independence and social-emotional skills. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'manners' not just as rules, but as tools for safety and making friends in a big, sometimes intimidating world.
