Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the weight of a mistake or needs help understanding that every action has a ripple effect on others. It is a powerful tool for navigating moments of impulsivity and learning how to take responsibility for one's choices through the lens of empathy. Based on the Disney film, the story follows Kenai, a young man who is transformed into a bear as a lesson from the Great Spirits. To regain his human form, he must travel with a talkative cub named Koda. Their journey explores themes of forgiveness, the true meaning of brotherhood, and the realization that those we perceive as 'others' have their own stories and feelings. It is an ideal bridge for elementary readers transitioning into chapter books who are ready for deeper conversations about perspective.
