About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice a divide growing between your children: perhaps the older siblings are excluding the younger one, or a 'little brother' is being dismissed as a nuisance. This story helps children navigate the complex dynamics of sibling hierarchies and the unintended consequences of unkindness. Abby and Penny are tasked with babysitting their younger brother, Joshua. Resentful of the chore, they decide to play a trick by dressing up as monsters to scare him. Their plan works too well, leading to a poignant realization about Joshua's genuine admiration for them. It is a gentle, realistic look at empathy and the moment a child realizes their actions can deeply hurt someone who loves them. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8, it models how to recognize a mistake and make a heartfelt apology.
