Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the sting of competition or feels their unique talents are being overshadowed by a peer.

Aphrodite faces a blow to her ego when she discovers a rival goddess in Egypt who seems just as talented as she is. This book provides a safe, humorous space for 8 to 12 year olds to explore feelings of jealousy, the importance of cultural appreciation, and the realization that there is room for everyone to shine. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful tool for discussing how to handle a bruised ego with grace.
