Reach for this book when you notice your child is becoming a bit too demanding of their playmates or siblings without considering their feelings. It is a gentle tool for addressing the behavior of the friend who takes without giving, or the child who unintentionally exhausts others with their constant requests. The story follows Wish Bear, whose frequent wishes begin to wear out her magical friend, Twinkers the star. Through this simple conflict, children learn that even the most generous friendships require boundaries and mutual respect. Ideal for the preschool to early elementary years, this book uses the familiar and comforting world of the Care Bears to model how to say no and how to receive a no with grace. It emphasizes that caring for a friend means being mindful of their energy and well-being. Parents will find it a helpful conversation starter for teaching gratitude and the importance of checking in on how our friends are feeling during play.
