You would reach for this book when your child is struggling to move past a playground spat, a sibling argument, or a moment of perceived unfairness. It acts as a gentle primer for children who find it difficult to let go of anger, providing them with the vocabulary to describe their internal frustration while explaining why holding onto a grudge can feel heavy. Unlike story-based narratives, this book uses direct, clear language to explain that everyone makes mistakes and that forgiving others is a choice that brings peace. Appropriate for children ages 5 to 8, this book serves as a foundational tool for developing emotional intelligence. It doesn't just tell children to 'be nice'; it validates their feelings of hurt and shame before offering a roadmap toward reconciliation. Parents will find it particularly useful for setting a household standard for how family members treat one another after a conflict, making it an excellent choice for modeling healthy social-emotional behavior.
