About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling to find their place in a group or needs to understand how different personalities contribute to a successful team. It is particularly useful for siblings or classmates who are learning to value each other's unique strengths, whether those strengths are leadership, creativity, or even a lovable clumsiness. The story follows the Rescue Elves, a diverse team of fantasy characters, as they navigate the Amazon rainforest to save an injured Monkey King. Through their mission, children see a model of collaborative problem-solving and empathy. Ideal for ages 4 to 8, this book serves as a gentle introduction to the idea that being a hero often requires working together and owning up to mistakes made during the learning process.
