Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to navigate the tricky social waters of playdates, daycare, or new siblings. It is the perfect tool for those 'hands-on' moments when a child needs a gentle reminder about physical boundaries and empathy. Through a series of sweet, minimalist vignettes, various animals model pro-social behaviors like being gentle, sharing, and apologizing. The book focuses on concrete actions: how to touch, how to listen, and how to help a friend who is sad. Its simplicity makes it highly effective for the 1 to 4 age range, providing a clear roadmap for kind behavior without being preachy. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'being nice' as an active choice that leads to stronger friendships and a happier environment.
