Reach for this book when your child has had a 'group meltdown' involving shared toys or when they struggle to find the words to apologize after a mistake. It is an ideal choice for navigating the tricky social dynamics of personal boundaries and the unintended chaos that can happen when everyone wants the same thing at once. The story follows a solitary person and a penguin who bond over roasting marshmallows. However, when the penguin brings its entire colony to join in, the situation quickly spirals out of control. Through deadpan humor and charming illustrations, the book explores themes of teamwork, accountability, and the messy but necessary process of making amends. It is a gentle, funny way to show children ages 4 to 8 that while saying 'I'm sorry' can be hard, it is the best way to rebuild a friendship.
