Reach for this book when your child is struggling with 'big feelings' that often erupt into tantrums or bossy behavior, especially within the family dynamic. The story follows Lola, a young bear with a fierce temperament who believes she is the ruler of her household until a visit from her even more strong-willed cousin, Trixie, provides a much-needed mirror for her own behavior. It is a humorous and relatable look at self-regulation and empathy that helps children see the impact of their outbursts on others. Written for children ages 3 to 7, it offers a gentle way to discuss temperament and the importance of kindness without being overly preachy. Parents will appreciate how it validates the intensity of a child's emotions while modeling the shift toward more considerate social interactions.
