Reach for this book when your child is nursing a long standing grudge or experiencing the cumulative weight of small playground disagreements. This whimsical story introduces Cornelius, the man responsible for filing away every petty grievance in the town of Ouchy. It serves as a visual metaphor for how heavy and cluttered our lives become when we refuse to forgive. The story is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate more complex social dynamics. By personifying 'grudges' as physical objects, the book helps children see the absurdity of holding onto anger. It provides a gentle opening to discuss why letting go is often better for the community than being 'right.' Parents will appreciate how the absurdist humor keeps the lesson from feeling like a lecture.
