About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to see things from someone else's point of view or when they are quick to judge others. While many versions of this classic tale cast Goldilocks as a villain and the bears as victims, Margaret Willey's dual narrative offers a more nuanced look at both sides. It is a perfect tool for discussing how our intentions might be misunderstood by others. This clever retelling splits the story into two distinct parts: the perspective of the bear family and the perspective of Goldilocks herself. By exploring the bears' sense of invasion and Goldilocks's sense of loneliness and curiosity, the book fosters deep empathy. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate complex social interactions and need to understand that every story has two sides.
