About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share their favorite belongings or expressing new anxieties about things that go bump in the night. This collection of two gentle stories follows Noodles, a white puppy who experiences very relatable preschooler emotions. In the first story, Noodles learns that keeping toys to himself is lonely, while the second story tackles the common fear of thunderstorms with a focus on internal bravery. These stories are perfectly calibrated for children aged 3 to 6 who are beginning to navigate social boundaries and environmental fears. Parents will appreciate how Noodles models the transition from a 'me-first' or fearful mindset to one of cooperation and confidence without being overly preachy. It is an ideal choice for building emotional literacy and reinforcing that even when we feel small, we can make big, positive choices.
