About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a 'my way or the highway' mindset or struggling to understand why a friend sees a situation differently. Mitsumasa Anno uses the clever imagery of playing cards to show that what looks 'upside down' to one person is perfectly 'right side up' to another. It is a masterful tool for introducing the complex cognitive skill of perspective-taking. Through whimsical illustrations that require physically turning the book, children learn that two seemingly opposite truths can exist at the same time. This conceptual gem is perfect for ages 5 to 9, offering a gentle, humorous way to discuss empathy and conflict resolution without being preachy. It transforms a literal shift in sight into a metaphorical lesson on kindness and understanding.
