Reach for this book when your child is struggling to understand why bossing others around is leaving them feeling lonely and isolated. It is an essential tool for children who have a big presence but haven't yet mastered the nuance of reciprocal friendship or social cues. King Pig rules over a flock of sheep, demanding their obedience and using them for his own whims, yet he is baffled by their lack of affection for him. Through humor and gentle realization, the story explores the difference between being in charge and being a friend. It focuses on the importance of kindness, the necessity of a sincere apology, and the hard work required to repair relationships after we have been unkind. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students navigating the playground power dynamics of the classroom.
