About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child consistently shrinking into the background, especially when they are around a more dominant or talkative friend. It is an ideal choice for the child who has great ideas but lacks the confidence to speak up during group projects or social play. The Humble Pie explores the fine line between being modest and being overlooked, teaching children that their contributions are valuable and worth sharing. In this eighth installment of Jory John's popular Food Group series, our main character is a quiet pie who enjoys celebrating others. However, when a school project with his boisterous best friend, Jake the Cake, results in his own hard work being completely ignored, he must learn how to find his voice. The book uses humor and pun-filled storytelling to tackle self-advocacy and the importance of healthy boundaries in friendships for children ages four to eight.
