Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky social dynamics of group projects or when a bossy friend is making play feel less like fun and more like work. It is an ideal choice for the holiday season when excitement can lead to frayed nerves and social friction in the classroom or at home. The story follows a first-grade class preparing for a Thanksgiving feast, but the focus is less on the turkey and more on how the children handle Anna Maria, whose controlling behavior begins to alienate her peers. It beautifully captures the frustration of being told what to do and the eventual path toward reconciliation and inclusion. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, this book serves as a gentle mirror for children to examine their own behavior and a roadmap for how to forgive a friend who has had a rough day. It validates the feeling of annoyance while showing that even bossy friends are part of the community.
