About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the messy aftermath of a friend fight, especially when feelings like jealousy or misunderstanding have caused a rift. While the setting is a vibrant, neon-soaked outer space, the heart of the story focuses on the essential skills of apologizing and active listening. It provides a gentle bridge for children who find it difficult to admit they were wrong or who feel stuck in a 'force field' of bad feelings after a disagreement. Through the adventures of Astrid and Stella, children ages 6 to 9 see that even the best of friends can have bad days. The story uses playful metaphors to explain how misunderstandings grow and how teamwork can fix them. It is an ideal choice for kids who love high-energy humor but need practical examples of how to repair a relationship and stay true to themselves.
