Reach for this book when your child is feeling emotionally 'chilly' or isolated, perhaps due to a move to a new neighborhood or a sense of being the 'odd one out' in a group. It is a gentle story about Danny, a gnome living in the freezing Alaskan tundra, who realizes that no amount of physical layers can fix the coldness he feels in his heart. Through a charming encounter with an otter, he discovers that warmth is something shared through friendship rather than something found in a heavy coat. Written by Stephen Cosgrove, this story uses the metaphor of the harsh Alaskan winter to explore deep-seated feelings of loneliness and the transformative power of companionship. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing their social-emotional vocabulary. Parents will appreciate the way it shifts the focus from external comforts to internal emotional well-being, making it a beautiful tool for discussing how we can help others feel included and 'warm' inside.
