Turtle in a Tree

Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a loop of 'I am right and you are wrong' with a friend or sibling. It is the perfect tool for those moments when two children see the same situation from different perspectives and neither is willing to budge. The story follows two dog friends, Gray and Brown, who get into a heated debate over whether there is a turtle or a squirrel in a nearby tree. Through simple text and expressive illustrations, children learn that two people can look at the exact same thing and come to completely different conclusions. It models how to pause, listen, and see the world through someone else's eyes. This is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are developing social awareness and learning the art of a sincere apology after a disagreement.
