Reach for this book when your child has had a falling out with a friend and is struggling to find the right words to make things right. This wordless, lift-the-flap story uses the metaphor of ice skating to explore the delicate balance of friendship. As Flora and her penguin friend glide across the ice, a small misunderstanding leads to a moment of hurt feelings, followed by a beautiful, silent reconciliation. It is a gentle and visually stunning way to show children that even when we make mistakes or 'trip' in our relationships, we can find our way back to harmony. Ideal for ages 3 to 7, this book is perfect for teaching emotional intelligence and the importance of saying sorry through actions when words are hard to find. The interactive flaps invite children to engage physically with the story, mirroring the back and forth nature of social interactions.
