About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a natural leader who sometimes forgets to be a listener. If your young visionary is struggling with the 'bossy' label or having trouble sharing the spotlight during group projects, Flossie Popkin's journey offers a relatable mirror. The story follows Flossie as she organizes a holiday craft fundraiser, only to realize that her great ideas are even better when she makes room for her friends' creativity too. At its heart, this is a gentle exploration of the fine line between being a leader and being a boss. It validates a child's drive to succeed and help others while teaching the essential soft skills of compromise and social awareness. Written specifically for the transitional stage between picture books and longer novels, it provides a safe, low-stakes environment for children aged 7 to 10 to reflect on their own social dynamics and the value of collaborative problem-solving.
