Reach for this book when your child is frozen by the pressure of a big decision or struggling to share a coveted 'last' treat. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating the anxiety that comes with high expectations and the fear of making the wrong choice. Through the hilarious banter of two bugs, children see their own internal dilemmas reflected with humor rather than judgment. The story follows a grasshopper and a ladybug as they debate whether to eat the final peach of the summer. As they weigh the pros and cons (What if it's mushy? What if someone else deserves it?), the book explores themes of patience, fairness, and the way anticipation can sometimes be better than the event itself. It is a gentle, witty way to normalize indecision and encourage collaborative problem solving in children ages 4 to 8.
