About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the big feelings of envy or the impulse to take toys without asking. It is a perfect tool for navigating common playground conflicts, specifically focusing on the moment a child makes a mistake that hurts a friend. The story follows Pip and Posy as they navigate a stressful moment: Posy snatches Pip's scooter and promptly crashes, leading to a minor injury. Through the lens of these relatable animal characters, children see that while taking things is wrong, being a kind friend and offering forgiveness is the way to move forward. It is perfectly pitched for toddlers and preschoolers who are just beginning to master self-regulation and social boundaries. You might choose this book because it validates the 'ouch' of both the accident and the hurt feelings without being overly preachy.
