Boris Has a Change Of Heart

Reach for this book when your child is going through a 'prickly' phase, struggling with social friction, or finding it hard to be kind when things don't go their way. It is an ideal tool for moments when a child needs to see that their bad moods don't define them and that making a different choice can change their whole day. The story follows Boris, a bear whose initial grumpiness and selfish behavior alienate those around him. As the narrative unfolds, Boris experiences a literal and metaphorical change of heart, learning that generosity and a positive attitude lead to much deeper rewards than isolation. It is a gentle, accessible entry point for preschoolers and early elementary children to discuss how our internal feelings affect our external relationships.
