Pinkie Pie and the Cupcake Calamity

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to collaborate on a team or feels defensive when a friend's working style clashes with their own. It is an ideal choice for the middle-elementary reader who loves a vibrant setting but needs practical examples of how to navigate professional jealousy and interpersonal friction. The story follows Pinkie Pie and Rarity as they attempt to work together at Sugarcube Corner. While both mean well, their differing approaches to customer service create a 'sticky' situation that is compounded by a new corporate competitor. Parents will appreciate how the story models workplace etiquette and the importance of compromising for the greater good of a community institution. It is a lighthearted yet effective tool for discussing how to blend diverse talents rather than letting them cause division.
